A monsoon is a shift in seasonal wind pattern that brings on a very rainy period. In the U.S., the desert southwest, the summer monsoon season usually begins around mid-June .
A Köppen–Geiger climate map showing temperate climates for 1991–2020 The different geographical zones of the world. The temperate zones, in the sense of geographical regions defined by latitude, span from either north or south of the subtropics (north or south of the orange dotted lines, at 35 degrees north or south) to the polar circles.
A monsoon (/ m ɒ n ˈ s uː n /) is traditionally a seasonal reversing wind accompanied by corresponding changes in precipitation [1] but is now used to describe seasonal changes in atmospheric circulation and precipitation associated with annual latitudinal oscillation of the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) between its limits to the north and south of the equator.

Weather pattern of the North American monsoon Typical precipitation pattern of the North American monsoon (green arrow). The North American monsoon is a complex weather process that brings moisture from the Gulf of California (and to lesser extent the eastern Pacific and Gulf of Mexico) over northwestern Mexico and southwestern US resulting in summer thunderstorms, especially at higher elevations.
Graupel (/ ˈ ɡ r aʊ p əl /; German: [ˈɡʁaʊpl̩] ⓘ), also called soft hail or hominy snow or granular snow or snow pellets, [1] is precipitation that forms when supercooled water droplets in air are collected and freeze on falling snowflakes, forming 2–5 mm (0.08–0.20 in) balls of crisp, opaque rime.
On the weekend of Aug. 10-11, the National Weather Service (NWS) reported a total of 8,953 lightning discharges across San Diego County, including 713 that were cloud-to-ground strikes.Most of the ...
Without the presence of the monsoon, surface winds across the globe would have been primarily zonal and easterly. The geologic record, however, indicates that winds exhibited a meridional cross-equatorial pattern but also that western Pangea experienced westerly flow during the peak period of the megamonsoon.
