If this isn’t climate change, I don’t know what is

Exactly, you don't know.

Weather is not climate. This is very windy, very rainy weather. And this pattern has been occurring in this part of the world for thousands of years. Not forever, as climate was perhaps much different at one time, so in that sense, climate has changed. Reasons for the change are not always so clearly understood.

If the hurricane persisted for several months every year, or even unending over several years, then it could be termed as part of “climate”.

Monsoons are weather phenomena, they do not constitute “climate” in and of themselves, but they are on a recurring annual basis, so they become part of “climate”.
