Now that the temperatures have finally hit the 90s, plenty of people are wondering when the monsoons are going to pay a visit to Albuquerque. But the National Weather Service says the rain may not come for some time.

The National Weather Service says the late summer monsoon could still be a month away.

"That's pretty typical for the Albuquerque metro area. The last week in June and first week in July are usually historically when we see our hottest temperatures," said Jesus Haro of the National Weather Service.

Experts say they look to Mexico to see when the storms will start brewing.

"At this point, based on the weather patterns that are in place, we're probably looking at a start somewhere in the early to middle part of July for us to really start to see an increase in thunderstorms across the area that are associated with the monsoon," Haro said.

Weather forecasters say as high pressure moves northeast to the southern plains or northwest towards California, the winds will shift, moisture increases over New Mexico and thunderstorms start popping up almost every afternoon.

The National Weather Service says the typical monsoon will last through the month of August.
