Question

Parts of the northern plains receive rainfall and mountains receive snowfall in the winter season.​

Answer 1

Answer:

A characteristic feature of the cold weather season over the northern plains is the inflow of cyclonic disturbances from the west and the northwest. These low-pressure systems originate over the Mediterranean Sea and West Asia and move into India along with the westerly flow. They cause the much-needed winter rains over the plains and snowfall in the mountains. This winter rainfall in northern parts of the country is locally known as 'mahawat'.
