Detailed explanation-1: -The nature of the winter rainfall in north western India is Cyclonic. Frontal (or Cyclonic) Rain is caused by cyclonic activity and it occurs along the fronts of the cyclone. It is formed when two masses of air of different temperature, humidity and density meets.
Detailed explanation-2: -Detailed Solution. During the winter season, the North-Western part of India gets rainfall from Western disturbances. The north-western plains of India experience winter rainfall due to the invasion of the western disturbances rising from the Mediterranean sea, steered by the westerly jetstream.
