Our local Hesperia/Apple Valley and Barstow/Twentynine Palms, Victorville teams respond to storm damage emergencies every year. Summer storms in this part of the Mojave Desert can be intense. For example, monsoonal thunderstorms, a type of thunderstorm associated with the monsoon season, are characterized by the seasonal reversal of wind patterns. Monsoonal thunderstorms typically occur in regions with a pronounced wet and dry season.

During the summer months, particularly in tropical and subtropical regions, the land heats up more quickly than the adjacent ocean, creating a low-pressure area over the land. This low-pressure area draws moisture-laden air from over the ocean, resulting in thunderstorms.

In Hesperia, monsoonal thunderstorms occur when moisture from the Gulf of California is drawn into the area, typically during the summer months. These thunderstorms can bring heavy rainfall, frequent lightning, gusty winds, and sometimes hail.

Monsoonal thunderstorms are an essential source of precipitation in arid and semi-arid regions, helping to alleviate drought conditions and replenish water sources. However, they can also pose hazards such as flash flooding and lightning strikes, so it's essential for residents to stay informed and take appropriate precautions during these events.
