HEYA, BUDDY !!

➦The Western disturbance is an extratropical storm that brings sudden winter rain to the northwestern part of the Indian subcontinent. It's a non-monsoon precipitation pattern driven by the West. Moisture in these storms typically originates in the Mediterranean Sea, the Caspian Sea and the Black Sea.

Western disturbances, especially those in winter, bring moderate to heavy rain in the low-lying areas of the nation as well as heavy snow to the mountainous areas of the Indian Subcontinent.

➦They are the source of most of the winter and post-monsoon rainfall in northwest India. Precipitation during the winter season is of great relevance in agriculture especially for the rabi crops. Wheat is one of the most important crops to help meet India's food security needs. Average of four to five western disturbances occur during the winter season. The distribution and amount of rainfall varies with each western disturbance.
