In this episode of the Southwest Climate Podcast, Mike Crimmins & Zack Guido recap the 2015 monsoon, (and revisit some of their predictions from earlier this summer). In part 1, they give a quick overview of the monsoon, before taking a closer look at the month by month progression, to track the overall season for what stood out (and what was underwhelming). In part 2, they talk about the nuances associated with the monsoon, including the impacts of El Niño, and eastern pacific tropical storm activity, on the overall monsoon. They conclude with a discussion of the variable nature of each year of the monsoon, and what makes this such an exciting place to live each summer as we watch the monsoon unfold.
