Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport has long been the official rain gauge for metro Phoenix. Why, especially when Valley weather varies a lot?

Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport's latest Bipartisan Infrastructure Law grant will fund an improvement that will cut the time passengers spend waiting.

The last time we got rain was Aug. 22, 2024. That makes 2024/2025 the second-longest dry streak in Phoenix's recorded history. The longest dry streak ran from Dec. 30, 1971 to June 6, 1972 — just a tiny bit longer than this past one.

Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport has served Valley residents. Here's what's in store for this year's Sky Harbor anniversary.

Before Wednesday’s drizzle, Sky Harbor hadn’t had any measurable precipitation since Aug. 22 – that’s 159 straight days of dry conditions.

Parts of metro Phoenix saw rain on Monday. However, the dry streak continues. Here's why that is, plus rainfall totals, forecast and weather radar.

Only three airports had more guns caught at security checkpoints than Phoenix Sky Harbor did last year.

This marks the end of the second-longest dry period in Phoenix on record, just one day shy of breaking the longest record. The current record was set in 1972 with 160 days without measurable rain.

Arizona Senators Mark Kelly and Ruben Gallego announced over $84 million will be going towards improving Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport.

Metro Phoenix is just two days shy of breaking its record for the longest dry streak, but meteorologists say rain could arrive in time to prevent it.

As a part of a yearlong celebration of Phoenix purchasing the airport, a new place of cultural diversity has been launched.

With light showers moving into the Valley, Monday could be the day when Phoenix’s second-longest streak without rain comes to an end.
