What is the reason behind the changing weather?

The Weather Department says that the changing weather is due to two western disturbances that are affecting northwest India one after the other. These systems usually pull precipitation from the Mediterranean area and are known to cause rain, snow, and thunderstorms throughout the winter. IMD added that the ongoing run of bad weather is caused by how these systems interact with the weather in the area.
