Come on people. It takes more than just some rumbling from above, one or two flashes of lightening, and 2ml of rain to start using the term, "Monsoon Season".Okay, so we have had a little more rain than we are used to in this hot, dry arid little hole in the Nevada desert. So we're used to temperatures in the 100s (that's almost 40 Celsius for my readers in the rest of the world). And now we get a sprinkling of rain, it gets a little humid, and people start screaming, "Run for your lives, it's Monsoon Season".
Most summer monsoons have a dominant westerly component and a strong tendency to ascend and produce copious amounts of rain (because of the condensation of water vapour in the rising air). I don't see "copious" amounts of rain. But perhaps it's because these wonderful folk here in Vegas who are more akin to staring directly into the blinding sun than they are into the clouds expectant for rain that the term is being thrown around like a hot potato.
Oh well, knock yourselves out. Just know that I, and the rest of the civilized world, am laughing at your stupid ass.
