Question

In which of the following months does an easterly jet stream flow over the southern part of the Peninsula, reaching a maximum speed of approximately 90 km per hour?

A.

February

B.

June

C.

April

D.

December

Correct option is B

The Correct Answer is: (b) June
Explanation:
 During the summer monsoon season a tropical easterly jet stream forms over the southern part of the Indian Peninsula.
 This Easterly Jet Stream, also known as the Tropical Easterly Jet (TEJ), is a high-altitude wind system that reaches speeds of up to 90 km/h or more.
 It typically develops due to the intense heating of the Tibetan Plateau and the pressure differences between the northern and southern hemispheres.
Information Booster:
  • Jet streams are fast-moving air currents in the upper atmosphere, typically found in the tropopause.

  • The Tropical Easterly Jet (TEJ) appears during June to September, centered around 15°N to 20°N latitude.

  • It influences the southwest monsoon circulation over the Indian subcontinent.

  • TEJ flows from east to west.
