## Resource

Arizona’s cicadas are turning up the volume as the monsoon rolls in — not because they’re forecasting rain, but because they’re finely tuned to the humidity and pressure shifts that precede storms. These desert natives, which emerge annually after years underground, thrive in the wetter conditions, using the rain to soften soil and boost plant life. Their loud buzzing signals not a weather prediction, but a perfect seasonal cue for mating and feeding — a harmless, natural soundtrack to Arizona’s summer.
