No summer Monsoon rain in Phoenix (so far)

I took the picture above while hiking Camelback mountain a couple years ago during the summer monsoon season; obvious moisture in the atmosphere but no rain. It's been the same this year.
We haven't had rain so far this summer (I live in Phoenix) & it's been disappointing. The trees around my house obviously benefit from the rain, not to mention we enjoy a drop (however small) in temperatures.

I've been a little worried because last year by this time we'd already had a couple storms. & I just hope when we actually do get rain, it is not a huge storm which causes flooding or damage (we shall see). Nevertheless, according to the weather forecasters (supposedly) we'll have rain this weekend.

I gotta say; I hope it rains in the next couple of days even if it ruins my weekend hiking plans.
