Heh. There's a North American monsoon, too, extending northwesterly from the Gulf of Mexico typically as far as Arizona and Utah, and occasionally even all the way to the Sierra Nevada in California. It's less well-defined than the Indian Ocean version but due to the same mechanism, with the Gulf standing in for the Indian Ocean:

When I lived in Flagstaff, AZ in the late 70s, it would always show up about the 4th of July--typically June was so dry the Forest Service closed the national forest due to the fire hazard! It's a weather phenomenon to keep in mind when scheduling a trip to the Southwest--the thunderstorms can get in the way, particularly when hiking/climbing in the high country! ;)

I stand corrected!
Pity a good Apache word couldn't have been used rather than one from Arabic!

Well, there's something to be said for using the same word for the same phenomenon, wherever in the world it occurs. As opposed to (say) using different words for the same large cyclonic storms depending on where they happen to form! ;)
