SIERRA VISTA — The area monsoon period has been a little stingy this year.The summer rains, which run from June 15 through Sept. 30, average 8.53 inches for that four-month period, said Jeff Davis, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Tucson.“Sierra Vista has had 1 inch of rain from June 15 through July 19,” the meteorologist said, “but the normal for that time frame is 1.93. So we’re off by 0.93 inches as of July 19.”
