Answer:
What Are Jet Streams?
Jet Streams are a narrow belt of high altitude (above 12,000 m) westerly winds in the troposphere. Their speed varies from about 110 km/h in summer to about 184 km/h in winter. A number of separate jet streams have been identified.
How do they affect the climate?
The easterly jet streams cause tropical depressions during the monsoon as well as October-November months. Jet streams are fast flowing winds blowing in a narrow zone in the upper atmosphere. In winter, the subtropical westernly jet streams bring rain to the western part of India.
