Detailed Solution

Retreating monsoon causes rainfall during winter in the northwestern part of India. An extratropical storm called Western Disturbances forms in the Mediterranean and sends abrupt winter rain to the northwest half of the Indian subcontinent. Westerlies are responsible for this pattern of precipitation. Rain is brought on by western disturbances in the northern section of India during the winter. Westerlies are the pattern's fundamental cause. Western disturbances have a crucial role in the Rabi crop's growth, including the essential regional grain wheat, in the northern subcontinent.
