Is this monsoon season?

No. Not yet. Yes, it’s cloudy and windy and we’ve had a couple dust storms here and there. But this still does not constitute monsoon season. Yes, I too have heard the locusts buzzing in the afternoon but that does not mean it is monsoon season yet. It does mean monsoon season is close. Aside from all these symptoms, there is a scientific aspect to monsoon that officiates when it really begins. That scientific aspect is called the dewpoint and ours is set at 46 degrees right now, according to my sister station KTAR. In order for this weather thing we have going to really be considered a monsoon, the dewpoint has to remain at 55 degrees or higher for three days in a row. So we have a ways to go before we can really enjoy some sky-splitting storms in the evenings as well as some haboobs. Carry on.
