In western cyclonic disturbances the word ‘Western’ means the western direction from which these western cyclonic disturbances originate. And the word ‘disturbances’ is used because the air within the low pressure system tends to be unstable or disturbed.
The western cyclonic disturbances are the extratropical rain.
These disturbances bring the winter rain to the northwestern part of the Indian subcontinent.
These disturbances originate in the mid latitude region near the Atlantic ocean and Europe.
