No real monsoon because it can rain anytime of the year.

Summer isn't that much rainier than winter in the eastern U.S., and the vast majority of the eastern U.S. falls well short of Koeppen's monsoonal climate thresholds; the driest winter month has to have less than 1/10 the precip of the wettest summer month. The same can also be said for almost any other climate classification system. At any rate there is no distinct dry and rainy season in those places that you mention.

Most places are natually wetter in summer because it's more humid and warmer. Most of the rain we get is due to thunderstorms generated by hot and humid weather. That's not really possible in winter because of the dryness and cooler temperatures. So of course it'll be wetter in summer. It's not due to a monsoon though.
