Detailed explanation-1: -Western disturbances are cyclones and storms which develop over the Mediterranean sea and bring heavy rainfall to the northern parts of India and cause snowfall in the Himalayas ranges during winter.
Detailed explanation-2: -The peak portions receive the highest amount of snow and are covered with snow all around the year. However, cities around the Himalayas can receive anywhere between 1 to 24 inches of snow depending on the month.
Detailed explanation-3: -Most Snow Measured in One Day If you were 6 feet tall and standing outside for 24 hours in Silver Lake, Colorado, April 14-15, 1921, you would’ve been buried by snow from head to toe. That location recorded 6.3 feet of snow in a single day at an elevation of 10, 220 feet in the Colorado Rockies, according to NOAA.
Detailed explanation-4: -During winter, low-pressure weather systems advance into the Himalayas from the west and cause heavy snowfall. Within the regions where western disturbances are felt, condensation occurs in upper air levels, and, as a result, precipitation is much greater over the high mountains.
