The air’s a little grittier, the winds are blowing stronger, and Phoenicians across the Valley are bonding over the weather that comes with the monsoon season.
And as the storm swept into the streets this past weekend, the local Instagram community captured many photos of Downtown Phoenix, which was often camouflaged behind a blanket of dust.
Here are five impressive shots from the weekend.
