Water misters keep lunchtime patrons cool Tuesday, Aug. 27, 2019 in Tempe, Ariz. Across the Southwest, people are longing for the monsoon rain like a lost summer romance. They're declaring their love online for the seasonal weather pattern that makes the scorching heat somewhat bearable in places like Phoenix and Las Vegas, and helps snuff out wildfires. They're peering out their windows for signs of storm clouds rolling in and calling rain drops a tease. And they're not giving up hope, despite many cities experiencing their driest summers on record.
