Five factors were identified in playing a role in the 2020 monsoon outcome:

* Unfavorable evolution and strength of the monsoon ridge.
* Abnormally strong northerly winds.
* Unusually low levels of moisture.
* Average tropical cyclone activity in the Eastern Pacific Ocean.
* Extended periods of opaque smoke at high altitudes due to extensive wildfire activity across the West.
