Monsoon: By definition: winds which in certain regions blow in opposite directions at different seasons of the year. In Eastern and Southern Asia the term is commonly used to denote seasonal rains without reference to wind.
7The word “monsoon” comes from an Arabic word meaning “season”, hence “seasonal wind”. In southern Arizona the word is properly used to describe the seasonal wind that brings rain in July.
