Consequence of Jet Stream

They affect weather conditions

They substantially contribute to originating cyclones, anticyclones, storms and depressions and influence their behaviour.

The bursting of monsoon in India is said to be closely related to Eastern Tropical Jet streams.

If the weather is not disturbed the aeroplanes running in their parallel directions gain great speed and considerably save fuel.

Sometimes aeroplanes cannot be flown in opposite direction.

These jet streams are still being investigated with respect to their effect on weather conditions.
