Arizonaâs monsoon is the northern extent of the North American Monsoon, which begins in early June in central and southern Mexico.The monsoon is a season, during which the dry westerly winds that persist through fall, winter and spring shift to moist southerly winds, bringing thunderstorm activity into Arizona.
The North American monsoon seasonâs existence was initially debated, but it was legitimized in by organizations like the Southwest Arizona Monsoon Project (SWAMP) and the North American Monsoon Experiment (NAME). Although not as strong as the Asian monsoon, the cycle is typical of monsoon seasons worldwide. The monsoon season begins on June 15 and ends on September 30, but the storms peak between mid-July and mid-August. On average, about half of Arizona receives about half of its annual rainfall during the monsoon. Arizona receives a statewide average of only 12.5 inches of rain per year.
