After a very dry and very clear January, the weather pattern has started to change over the western US. The result has been a lot more clouds though, unfortunately, little rain. Though Arizona is not experiencing the severe drought conditions affecting California this winter, we are in definite need of a few good rain soaking storms.
Over the last five nights of January, 2 were clear and 4 were affected by clouds to different extents. The night of Jan 30/31 saw only a single meteor shine between the clouds.
