Original – A strong Western Disturbance affecting northern India, Pakistan and Afghanistan. Strong Western Disturbances in winter like the one pictured bring moderate to heavy rain in low-lying areas and heavy snow to mountainous areas of the Indian Subcontinent.

Reason: Strong western disturbances like the one pictured are rare, and the image is of great quality.

Is it possible to get this cropped a little more generously, so we can see the southern tip of India? The composition is holding this one back a bit. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 12:59, 5 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment-That is not a disturbance, but a extratropical cyclone. Besides, it doesn't have the original, higher resolution, and shape of the official NASA, Earthobservatory images. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Earth100 (talk • contribs)
