Detailed Solution

Punjab and Haryana receive rainfall in winter from Westerly disturbances. The western disturbance has a substantial impact on the Indian subcontinent. It causes snowfall in mountainous regions with moderate to heavy rain—the troubles in the west move towards the east. The Mediterranean Sea is the birthplace of an extratropical storm known as the western disturbance. This storm causes sudden winter rain to fall across northwest India, including the states of Punjab, Haryana, Gujarat, and Rajasthan. Western disturbances bring heavy rain to low-lying areas and snowfall to higher regions in winter.
