Does Oracle get good monsoons? I’m moving to Saddlebrooke Ranch and love monsoons!

The monsoon is a season. There are storms during the monsoon season.

Monsoon seasons vary year to year, just like hurricane seasons in FL, etc.

Storms during the monsoon can be furious such as a microburst that tears out trees by roots in one block, with no damage a few blocks away.

The monsoons generally come up from the SE, so sometimes they hit Vail and SE Tucson but never make it to Oracle, but in general there should be quite a few every monsoon season.

Say what? Oracle gets monsoons and so does Saddlebrook Ranch they are moving to. Not sure why its stated that monsoons do not reach Oracle.
They can be pretty spectacular...here is a you tube video as an example

OP, congrats on the move. Here is a little blurb from your communities web....


Summer

By summer the snowbirds have left before the hot weather returns to our area. For those of us who stay, it is a more peaceful time, with less traffic and a slower pace of life. It is also the monsoon season, a special time when fluffy clouds come up over the Santa Catalina Mountains in the afternoon, combining as they rise high above the mountains and form anvil heads, a precursor to black skies and monsoon rains that water the parched desert. The rainfall produces a second wildflower season, with Texas rangers, summer poppies, and fishhook barrel cacti blossoming. Gambel’s quail wander the Ranch with their broods of chicks in tow. Lizards abound, and so do their mortal enemies, hawks, and roadrunners.

This year's monsoon might be lighter than average, since we've had such a wet winter.
