AZ8 Report post Posted June 15, 2014 Took a 5 mile hike through the desert and was entertained by the cicadas! Arizona folklore means the monsoon is near! Well, not really a scientific certainty, but the cicadas singing indicates the onset of our rainy season is near. Hopefully in a few weeks we hear the first thunder. 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Snapshot Report post Posted June 15, 2014 The Cicadas outside my place are almost deafening this morning. Wish I could go to Lee's Ferry, and get in on some Cicada fishing action. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AZbowhntr Report post Posted June 16, 2014 My office door is starting to rub at the top. That is how I know that the monsoon season is getting close. Someday maybe I will fix it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brademan76 Report post Posted July 10, 2018 Cicadas predicted the monsoon pretty well this year, at least where i am in the valley. I noticed their singing in the last 5-7 days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
