Today’s Monsoon Awareness Week topic is lightning, and we’re reviewing some common myths about lighting. If you haven’t seen the first myth we reviewed, check out our earlier post! Many of us look forward to thunderstorms and rain during the monsoon. However, with thunderstorms comes the risk of lightning, which can be deadly.
Our next lighting myth is:

- ¿Sabías que el calor extremo ha matado a más personas en los últimos diez años que cualquier otro tipo de fenómeno climático? El calor excesivo es más común durante los meses de verano y se define como temperaturas muy por encima de lo normal para la época del año. Dependiendo de dónde vivas, las temperaturas superiores a los noventa, noventa y cinco o cien grados pueden resultar peligrosas.
Para mantenerse seguro durante el calor extremo, es importante conocer los signos de enfermedades relacionadas con el calor.

Heat-related illnesses happen when the body is not able to properly cool itself. Sweating is the body’s natural response to cool itself, but sometimes, that’s not enough. Make sure you know the difference between heat exhaustion and heat stroke! Symptoms of heat exhaustion include heavy sweating, weakness or tiredness, cool, pale, and clammy skin, a fast or weak pulse, muscle cramps, dizziness, nausea, or vomiting. If you or someone you know is experiencing heat exhaustion, move to a cooler environment immediately, loosen clothing, and apply cool, wet cloths. If the person is vomiting or any symptoms last longer than one hour, seek medical attention immediately.
Heat stroke is the most serious form of heat-related illness and needs to be treated immediately. Symptoms of heat stroke include headaches, confusion, nausea, dizziness, fainting, loss of consciousness, and a body temperature above 103 degrees. If you or someone else is experiencing heat str...

- Monsoon Awareness Week: Downburst Winds
- Date posted
- 3 years ago
- Description
- Downburst winds are commonly associated with thunderstorms during the Monsoon and they can be extremely hazardous. Downburst winds are one of the thunderstorm-related weather hazards most likely to produce property damage.
A downburst is a non-rotating wind that is created by a column of sinking air in a thunderstorm that, after hitting ground level, spreads out in all directions and is capable of producing damaging straight-line winds of over 100 mph. These winds can often produce damage similar to, but distinguishable from, that caused by tornadoes. The physical properties of a downburst are completely different from those of a tornado.
Rain falling from a thunderstorm will create a column of cool air that will sink along with the rain. This is known as a downdraft. As rain descends some of it may evaporate, leading to additional cooling of the downdraft. This evaporative cooling can cause it to become more dense than the surrounding air, strengthening the ...

- Description
- As we kick off Monsoon Awareness Week, we thought we'd share this quick video that explains what the Monsoon is and what weather hazards are associated with it.
Stay tuned to our social media outlets, as each day this week we will be discussing various topics related to the North American Monsoon. Most of us look forward to the beneficial rainfall. However, it’s not just about the rainfall! Unfortunately, there are various weather hazards that can accompany the beneficial rainfall.
The monsoon is not one particular storm, but rather it is a collective season that spans from June 15th through September 30th, which is typically when the seasonal reversal of winds occurs. That doesn’t necessarily mean that thunderstorms will only develop during these dates, but rather this is a time of year to stay alert and aware of monsoon hazards, much like hurricanes have a defined season to stay prepared and ready for potential storms.

Eventos del tiempo como los rayos pueden causar incendios forestales, pero en realidad son las personas la causa principal de la mayor cantidad de incendios forestales. Los incendios forestales pueden ocurrir en muchos lugares, pero el riesgo incrementa durante períodos de clima seco, de poca lluvia y fuertes vientos. Desafortunadamente, Nuevo México no es ajeno a los incendios forestales y es importante que todos los Nuevo Mexicanos estén al tanto y tengan un plan.

- Monsoon Awareness Week: Discussing Flash Flooding Threats
- Date posted
- 5 years ago
- Description
- Monsoon Awareness Week runs from June 13th through the 19th this year (2021). Flash Flooding is a critical weather hazard that often accompanies the monsoon season in the American Southwest. Flash Flooding is simply defined as rain that falls too fast and too heavily for the ground to absorb the water. Thunderstorms during the monsoon season can often produce locally heavy rainfall with high rain rates, and often the rocky and/or steep terrain in the desert southwest can combine to create a recipe for flash flooding. When it rains too heavily for water to be adequately absorbed by the ground, the water turns to runoff, and this runoff can quickly turn excessive and dangerous, leading to abrupt and fast torrents of water in normally dry creeks, arroyos, washes, and river beds.
Urban areas are also susceptible to flash flooding, as many villages, towns, and cities contain large amounts of concrete or pavement surfaces that do not allow rain to be absorbed into the ground. ...
