A monsoon is a heavy rainy season which lasts for several months.
cant recall ever having heavy rain for several months on a yearly predictable basis

he North American Monsoon (NAM) occurs from late May or early June into September, originating over Mexico and spreading into the southwest United States by mid July. It affects Mexico along the Sierra Madre Occidental as well as Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, West Texas, and California. It pushes as far west as the Peninsular Ranges and Transverse Ranges of southern California but rarely reaches the coastal strip (a wall of desert thunderstorms only a half-hour's drive away is a common summer sight from the sunny skies along the coast during the monsoon).
still not east coasth:
