Monsoon 3
Monsoon 3 :
How Does the Monsoon Work? During the winter, winds in Arizona normally come from the west or northwest. As summer approaches, winds shift to a southerly or southeasterly direction, allowing moisture to stream into Arizona from the Pacific Ocean, the Gulf of California and the Gulf of Mexico. Summer heating warms the desert and city surfaces, allowing large cumulonimbus clouds to form in the humid air. These thunderstorms bring rain and sometimes severe weather.
