Jet streams are a narrow belt of high-altitude winds in the troposphere.Jet streams are air currents found in the tropopause which is the transition between troposphere and stratosphere.
1. Streams are of air that flow horizontally through the upper layers of the troposphere from west to east direction.These are westerly flows which blow south of the Himalayas, all through the year except in summer.
2. The western cyclonic disturbances experienced in the north and north-western parts of the country are brought in by this westerly flow. In summer, the subtropical westerly jet stream moves north of the Himalayas with the apparent movement of the sun.
3. The sub-tropical easterly jet stream blowing over peninsular India is responsible for the tropical cyclones that affect the eastern coastal regions of India during the monsoon as well as during the October to November.
