Answer:

Jet streams are the air currents found in the highest part of the atmosphere. ... The jet streams impact the onset of monsoon which depends upon the upper air circulation dominated by SubTropical Jet Streams (STJ). The south west monsoon in India is directly related to the tropical easterly stream

  • During the summer months, approximately over 14°N, easterly jet streams blow over peninsular India. These are also known as the sub-tropical easterly jet stream.

  • With the apparent movement of the sun, the subtropical westerly jet stream moves north of the Himalayas.

  • In a south-easterly direction, over the southern Indian Ocean, air moves from the high-pressure area. Over the Indian subcontinent, air turns right towards the low-pressure areas.These are Southwest Monsoon winds.

  • Widespread rainfall occurs over the Indian mainland by these winds as they gather moisture while blowing over the warm oceans.

  • Westerly flow dominates the upper air circulation in this region. Jet stream is a very important component of this flow.
