2. Western cyclonic disturbances that enter the Indian subcontinent from the west and north-west during the winter months originate from the Mediterranean Sea and are brought into India by the westerly jet stream.

3. On an average, 4-5 western disturbances are formed during the winter season and the distribution of rainfall in each western disturbance is different.
