Detailed Solution

These jet streams are classified as subtropical westerly jet streams since they are located about over 27°–30° north latitude. With the exception of the summer, these jet streams always pass over India to the south of the Himalayas. This westerly flow in the winter months is what brings the western cyclonic disturbances to the country's north and north-western regions. The subtropical westerly jet stream moves north of the Himalayas during the summer as the sun appears to move across the sky.
