Jest streams are the strong or high speed winds found at the upper level of the atmosphere. Over India, these jet streams blow south of the Himalayas, all through the year except in summer. The western cyclonic disturbances experienced in the north and northwestern parts of the country are brought in by this westerly flow.

An easterly jet stream, called the tropical easterly jet stream blows over peninsular India, approximately over 14°N during the summer months. read less
