Utah has been declared a monsoon climate after record breaking precipitation. "Utah's climate through the winter of 2007/2008", reports Wendy Blows of the National Weather Service, "is extreme, to say the least". With record breaking snow and rainfall, and the shift of the direction of the prevailing winds, Utah weather now qualifies as a Pseudo Monsoon Seasonal climate, PMS.By exact definition Utah weather is neither tropical nor a monsoon seasonal climate, but both conditions are close enough to be considered partial, or pseudo. The predominant condition, in spite of the low temperatures not associated with tropical climates, is obvious to wind-watchers; fluffy, dumpling-like formations in the sky, carrying large amounts of dihydrogen oxide, carried along by seasonally reversed directional low and high pressure systems. This qualifies Utah as a monsoon sub-continental climate, like India, except not as warm, and not as directional, and not as wet. Results are increased dihydrogen oxide gas production from soil, and bloating. Irritability and television infomercial credit card spending are also typical characteristics of a regional population transitioning through PMS.
