This year's monsoon season in Phoenix made the Arizona capital the wettest it has been since 1943.
Monsoon season brings Arizona about half of the rain it will see in an entire year, according to Southwest Climate Change.
This year, Phoenix saw 6.34 inches of rain during monsoon season, making it the seventh wettest monsoon season of all time. It beat out the monsoon season in 1943, where the city saw 6.15 inches of rain.
"It was incredible, epic, amazing," Bryan Snider, a founding member of Arizona Storm Chasers who has followed storms in Arizona and the Midwest for about a decade, tells The Arizona Republic. "There are so many ways to describe it."
The season was still 3.22 inches shy of Phoenix's largest monsoon in history in 1984, where 9.56 inches of rain poured on the captal.
The Phoenix monsoon season officially began on June 15 and ended yesterday. The date varies every year, beginning when the temperature stays above 55 degrees for three consecutive days.
"Occasionally we'll get a storm that really dumps on the west end of U.S. 60, or the central part, but not to this extent over the whole urban area," Steve Waters, a flood warning branch manager with the flood control district, tells ABC.
Yesterday's monsoon, which collected two inches of rain alone, caused roads and schools to close.
But, as always, it could be worse. This June was also the seventh wettest in history in Miami, however, the city saw a whopping 19.62 inches of rain.
