|  Monsoon 2022 has arrived, and with it the promise of thunderstorms that will bring welcome rain. But the storms and the dust they kick up also bring health hazards, especially for those who already have respiratory ailments. Dust storms and heavy downpours occur across the state but are a higher concern for more than 6 million people who live in four of Arizona's five most populous counties: Maricopa, Pinal, Pima, and Yuma. The most obvious concerns are the reduced visibility that can make driving dangerous and flash flooding. Drivers should safely pull off the roadway until the storm passes, turning off their lights and not pressing the brakes. And never drive into a flooded wash. | | | |
