 Phoenix has seen a dramatic turn in its water story over the last 48 hours as rare November storms swept across the Valley. Yesterday on November 15, rain showers kicked off the first major precipitation event of the month, dropping roughly 4.5 millimeters of rain according to forecast data from Ease Weather, with much of the city enjoying off-and-on showers and cooler highs around 31 degrees Celsius. That was just a prelude for today, November 16, which brought the most substantial downpour Phoenix has seen in months. Moderate rain dominated the morning and early afternoon, and rain gauges around the city have tallied up to 17 millimeters just for today, making it one of the wettest days of the year and a welcome relief for this desert region that usually expects less than 20 millimeters during the entire month of November, according to Weather2Travel.

Local weather discussions, including the November 15 Phoenix broadcast from meteorologist Michael, highlighted that not everyone in the Valley feels the rain equally—storms have been scattered but some neighborhoods saw rain, thunder, and a taste of winter with cooler highs ranging between 21 and 31 degrees from Friday through Sunday. Despite the impressive precipitation, this event doesn’t rival the record September rains, but residents are enjoying some much-needed dampness after a dry start to the month.

Water quality remains strong throughout Phoenix, with city officials confirming that the surge in runoff has not disrupted drinking water treatment. The Central Arizona Project, as reported by Know Your Water News, continues to operate reliably 24/7, ensuring over 80 percent of Arizonans have steady access to Colorado River water. Nonetheless, underlying concerns about long-term water supplies linger. According to Arizona Water News, a prolonged drought and lower reservoir levels upstream are placing extraordinary pressure on the region’s water resources, even as local rainfall gives short-term relief.

State leaders, as noted in Arizona Capitol Times on November 11, have issued a bipartisan call for action regarding Colorado River allocations. Negotiations remain tense, with no agreement reached and updates from Governor Hobbs indicating Colorado River headwater states are still uncommitted to conservation measures. These political dynamics cast a shadow on Phoenix’s future water security, especially as population growth continues to outpace local rainfall.

For Phoenix residents concerned about public health, recent water tests show that municipal drinking water is clean, safe, and well within federal and state safety standards. Rainwater runoff has not compromised system integrity, thanks to robust infrastructure and swift response from city water management.

In terms of recreation, the rainfall has temporarily boosted river and canal flows, offering some rare chances for urban kayaking and nature watching. However, with sun already returning in the forecast for the start of next week, conditions are expected to dry out by November 18, with minimal residual rain and highs settling back near 20 degrees Celsius.

To wrap up, Phoenix is experiencing a rare November rain event, boosting water supplies just as ongoing drought and interstate negotiations raise deeper questions about the region’s water future. The city’s infrastructure is holding strong, water quality is excellent, and residents are soaking in the cool, damp respite after an exceptionally dry fall.
