Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
Western disturbances do not affect Central India.
The tropical storms originating in the Mediterranean region and moving towards the east are termed western disturbances. They cause rainfall in parts of North India, Bangladesh, and Nepal. They are particularly strong in winter and are weakened by the monsoon winds. These winds approach the Indian subcontinent and move northwards up to the Himalayas, which weaken the wind. The western disturbances are responsible for the winter rainfall in north India, which favours the cultivation of rabi crops. They also cause snowfall in the Himalayan region due to the high altitude. Cloudy sky, unusual rains, and high night temperatures are characteristics of western disturbances.
The correct statement should be that Western disturbances cause rainfall in parts of North India, Bangladesh, and Nepal.
