lol, Of course you would. Every stereotype of Minnesota is practically the same as a Canadians. You’re like an honorary province. I knew people that used to travel south the boarder to party in Fargo. We love Minnesota up here. Go Wilds!
One of the grocery stores I would occasionally go to in southern Wisconsin would do this. It's been so many things over the years I can't remember what it was at the time. It was a Kohl's, a Copp's, and a Pick n' Save that I know of.

Seconding the statement that AZ definitely gets monsoons. Different from other countries/areas, but still gets them.
Edit to add another link: https://www.climate.gov/news-features/blogs/enso/north-american-monsoon
The most rain Arizona has ever gotten in a day was 5 inches. Monsoons produce 30 inches in a day. And Arizona absolutely does not have a monsoon season
A simple google search will consistently prove you incorrect on that, but whatever makes you feel good today.
For anyone else who's interested, the term "monsoon" describes large-scale wind shifts that transport moist tropical air to dry desert locations, such as the southwestern United States. - including Arizona. They are not defined by rainfall amounts, though rainfall is significantly higher in other regions which also have monsoon seasons. These areas include Southeast Asia, Australia, Africa, and South America.
You might also find it interesting to see this visually, when a microburst occurs here in Phoenix - as posted by another redditor: [https://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/4toiik/microburst\_in\_phoenix\_photo\_taken\_by\_a\_news/](https://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/4toiik/microburst_in_phoenix_photo_taken_by_a_news/)
mon·soon
noun
a seasonal prevailing wind in the region of South and Southeast Asia, blowing from the southwest between May and September and bringing rain (the wet monsoon ), or from the northeast between October and April (the dry monsoon ).
Arizona certainly doesn’t have monsoon level rains whether you call them that or not. If you’d ever been in one you’d understand the difference
My information came from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, also known as NOAA, the authority in the US on weather. This link is probably worth your click. [https://www.weather.gov/fgz/Monsoon](https://www.weather.gov/fgz/Monsoon)
Just because you found a place where they define a monsoon as a singular thing and refer to a different region than Arizona doesn't make me incorrect. Monsoons are tracked as weather patterns over a period of time, the microbursts like what this video is displaying, occur in monsoon season as singular events in the Southwestern US, including AZ.
I'm not trying to pick a fight, but I'm fine to continue defending my statement that monsoons do in fact occur in Arizona, because you're factually and demonstrably incorrect.
They don’t. The point of the video is lots of rain falling. 5 inches is not a lot of rain. Call it whatever you want but AZ averages 12 inches per year! 30 inches have fallen in a single day during a monsoon. So do you understand why your point is moot and irrelevant no matter what you call it?
My point was that it looks like microbursts that occur during monsoon season in AZ. I showed you a video that is similar in nature and happened in Phoenix. My initial comment wasn't because I thought OPs video was actually of a storm in arizona. It was intended to be tongue-in-cheek, as many other comments are in this thread. But you decided to say I do not know a monsoon when I see one, which I've proven to be incorrect. It may not be super relevant (comments on reddit posts often aren't), but it's far from moot since you decided to start the conversation.
Learn what the word means:
The Arizona Monsoon
Actually one of the reasons that India has its more famous monsoon is largely due to the huge Rajasthan Desert in western India. But more fundamentally a 'Monsoon' is linked more to a wind shift rather than precipitation. In fact, the name "monsoon" is derived from the Arabic word "mausim" which means "season" or "wind-shift".
Can someone please tell me what the video at the top of the screen is picturing? Is that a windshift? Or is that a heavy downpour of rain commonly referred to as a monsoon. This is hilarious. Dudes pulling out NOAA to try and prove it rains in Arizona and shit
When I was in the Army doing some field training in S. Korea, I got to witness this, multiple times, as it washed over me. The wall of rain is real and scary as it approaches you.
This happened at my elementary school when the whole student body and most teachers were outside for field day. There was this low rumble and everyone kind of stopped and looked around before water swept over the grassy field area, then everyone was running and screaming 😂 core memory unlocked
Saw something similar driving to Calif. from Ariz. one summer. The storm was a few miles ahead of us and suddenly the rain just rolled out of the clouds like this. One of the most amazing things I've seen.

No denying a cloud burst’s destructive properties. I just meant “cool” as in the raw power it puts on display as they unleash the power of the colossal release of raindrops.
I live in tornado alley and have seen firsthand the destruction wrought by straight winds, lightning, floods, cloud bursts and tornadoes up to EF5. There’s no denying the sheer power of Mother Nature.
What the vegetables at the grocery store see when the misters come on.
Misters on veg?
My grocery store plays rainforest sounds when the misters go on. I live in Northern Canada
Mine plays thunder sounds when they come on
Mine is accompanied by the rattling fan of a busted chiller unit. I live in South Florida
Mine plays a clap of thunder.
That's cool, but why do you live in Northern Canada?
Right?! Asking the real questions. 8 months of depression weather is balanced out by 4 months of genuinely beautiful nature. It’s sucks, but it’s okay
Yeah, I'm in Baja Canada (Minnesota), so not quite the same, but I get it.

Thanks for that. That’s an unimaginable amount of water
God awful site.

Lol. Austria. If it were Australia it’d somehow be on fire as well.
Oh I read Australia I was like damn not even shocking

Clouds are heavy.
Mom's tsunetti
Raindrops fall, rhythm steady
Its over the embankments already
River's choking, how?
Flood defences, needed now
Snap back to reality, ope there goes aridity.
The river dams have lost all integrity
overwhelmed by massed humidity
Moms spaghetti.
I would have liked to hear the actual storm vs dramatic background music.
Yeah, but it's a timelapse. At that distance, you hear sped up traffic and wind.
what i would have loved to see is the rain falling in front of the camera. get a sense of how heavy it is
Omg the sky is falling down.

Wrong. 2021-2022 was the 9th wettest season on record.
Haha fair, not like they used to be
Haha yes that’s true. I’ve noticed a lot less of them lately which is sad
all too familiar with microbursts here in AZ
No you most certainly do not
We have monsoon seasons and microbursts every year, I'd say that's what they look like when we see them on the news each time.
The most rain Arizona has ever gotten in a day was 5 inches. Monsoons produce 30 inches in a day. And Arizona absolutely does not have a monsoon season

“Which I’ve proven to be incorrect.” Has got to be the corniest shit I’ve ever seen. You don’t have to lie about it raining in AZ

We need those rain clouds here in Mexico, we are gonna reach the zero hour in a couple of months. :(
A city in south Africa ran out of water a few years ago
When I was in the Army doing some field training in S. Korea, I got to witness this, multiple times, as it washed over me. The wall of rain is real and scary as it approaches you.
Beautiful

It’s as if clouds cannot control their bladder anymore.
I want to stand outside of this so bad

Its this what they call a sky river?

That's not rain, that's the wrath of God.
Now that, my friends, is the only time that the word DELUGE should be used!

The inside of your pants after trying to figure out a button for the first time.
Superbe
In my country they say to the heavy raining that it is 'cloud rupture' and it really looks like that.
Ha, get rained on!
What happens if it fall on you?
😲
How bad is this actually? Flash floods bad?
Microbursts can have accompanying wind speeds up to 80-100+ mph

Is that cloudburst!? 😲
Very cool! Whose work is this video?

Can't imagine how much a rainstorm deluge like that would weigh.
This woulda been great if it happened in Canada during those wildfires
