<strong>travel eastwards towards the Indian subcontinent. <\/strong><\/li>\n<li>They <strong>carry moisture-laden air <\/strong>and i<strong>nteract with the subtropical jet stream,<\/strong> <strong>influencing weather conditions<\/strong> over vast regions, including parts of P<strong>akistan, India, Nepal, and Bangladesh. <\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Western Disturbances <strong>primarily affect India during the winter months,<\/strong> from November to March.<\/li>\n<li>They <strong>bring crucial rainfall and snowfall, vital for the Rabi crop season,<\/strong> especially in northwestern India, including Punjab, Haryana, and Delhi.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Why is it named Western Disturbances?<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li>Western Disturbances are named so because of their <strong>origin and movement patterns. <\/strong><\/li>\n<li>These weather systems <strong>originate from the western regions of the Earth<\/strong>, <strong>specifically <\/strong>from the<strong> Mediterranean region. <\/strong><\/li>\n<li>As they form over the Mediterranean Sea and adjacent areas, they are referred to as Western Disturbances.<\/li>\n<li>The <strong>term \u201cdisturbance\u201d indicates the disruptive natur<\/strong>e of these weather systems as they travel eastwards from their origin towards the Indian subcontinent and beyond.<\/li>\n<li>While they are <strong>called Western Disturbances in India<\/strong>, <strong>similar weather phenomena <\/strong>may be <strong>referred to by different names in other regions <\/strong>of the world, depending

a<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Explanation:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Northwest India is enjoying a brief respite from rain and thunderstorms after the latest Western Disturbance weakened and moved eastward.<\/p>\n<p><strong>About Western Disturbances:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>They are <strong>extratropical storm systems<\/strong> that <strong>form over the Mediterranean Sea<\/strong> and <strong>travel eastwards towards the Indian subcontinent. <\/strong><\/li>\n<li>They <strong>carry moisture-laden air <\/strong>and i<strong>nteract with the subtropical jet stream,<\/strong> <strong>influencing weather conditions<\/strong> over vast regions, including parts of P<strong>akistan, India, Nepal, and Bangladesh. <\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Western Disturbances <strong>primarily affect India during the winter months,<\/strong> from November to March.<\/li>\n<li>They <strong>bring crucial rainfall and snowfall, vital for the Rabi crop season,<\/strong> especially in northwestern India, including Punjab, Haryana, and Delhi.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Why is it named Western Disturbances?<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li>Western Disturbances are named so because of their <strong>origin and movement patterns. <\/strong><\/li>\n<li>These weather systems <strong>originate from the western regions of the Earth<\/strong>, <strong>specifically <\/strong>from the<strong> Mediterranean region. <\/strong><\/li>\n<li>As they form over the Mediterranean Sea and adjacent areas, they are referred to as Western Disturbances.<\/li>\n<li>The <strong>term \u201cdisturbance\u201d indicates the disruptive natur<\/strong>e of these weather systems as they travel eastwards from their origin towards the Indian subcontinent and beyond.<\/li>\n<li>While they are <strong>called Western Disturbances in India<\/strong>, <strong>similar weather phenomena <\/strong>may be <strong>referred to by different names in other regions <\/strong>of the world, depending on their origin and impact.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Hence only statement 1 is correct.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>News<\/strong>:<a
