Positively Monsoonal!

Several days ago, I noticed that the forecasts were looking positively monsoonal. I'm glad to see them vindicated!

We've had some years in the past where May sets up as monsoon-like: 2006, in particular, I believe. It's interesting that it seems to matter less what time of year it is, and more on whether there's a high-pressure ridge present.
