This is a full length (3 minutes and 40 seconds) video with an introduction to the Monsoon for Monsoon Awareness Week. Monsoon Awareness Week runs from June 12th through the 18th this year, and National Weather Service offices across the Southwest are teaming up to discuss and review some of the weather hazards that the monsoon can bring.

As we shift from the spring season into summer, many people are eagerly anticipating the arrival of the monsoon.

The Monsoon is an important season, as many locations depend on the rejuvenating rainfall that arrives during this time of year. There are many benefits of the precipitation, but unfortunately certain weather hazards can occur during the monsoon.

The monsoon is not one particular storm or single rainfall event, but rather it is a collective season that typically spans from mid June to late September in the American Southwest. Although precipitation is often welcome across the arid landscape, thunderstorms can often bring more than just rain. We invite you to join us each day throughout Monsoon Awareness Week as we review the weather impacts that the monsoon can have on you. You can follow Monsoon Awareness Week conversations all week on Facebook, Twitter and YouTube!

Thanks for watching, and stay safe this summer!
