Arizona Lightning Tours

Weather Holidays have been running Desert Monsoon Tours to Arizona for the last 14 years. Let us guide you to some of the most spectacular Lightning on Planet Earth during the Monsoon Season.

Add to this incredible scenery from the Sonoran Desert with Cactus in the South to Pine Forests and 7,000ft elevations in the North of the State. Other attractions include The Grand Canyon, Meteor Crater, Slot Canyons and Monument Valley. Arizona is not just about Storms though with some of the best Astrophotography viewing in the world as well due to almost non existent light pollution. Arizona is an incredible place to visit.

The thrill of the chase and viewing of these magnificent storms is addictive!

The Monsoon Season

The Arizona Monsoon season runs from Early July to Mid September, and we aim to chase right in the middle of the Season typically in August, so an ideal choice if you need your tour to co-incide with the summer holidays in the UK.

Our Tours

A very handy advantage of the Arizona tours is much reduced time on the road and a more relaxed way of chasing. We aim to stay at the same hotel throughout the tour, travelling generally not more than 100 miles to our chase target each day. So a more relaxed vibe than the multi-state tours in the USA and Canada.

For 2023 we're hoping to run two tours to Arizona. The base location for the tour is Phoenix, where there is a daily direct flight from and to the UK. Check the schedules and availability here.
