प्रश्न
Which type(s) of cyclones cause rainfall in north-western India during winter? Where do they originate?
उत्तर
Western cyclonic disturbances cause rainfall in northwestern India during winter. The western cyclonic disturbances which enter the Indian subcontinent from the west and the north-west during the winter months originate over the Mediterranean Sea and are brought into India by the westerly jet stream. An increase in the prevailing night temperature generally indicates an advance in the arrival of these cyclones disturbances.
