domain, entire western and northern Himalayan regions experience warm temperatures in the model simulations (Fig. 6a). The warming is more than 3–4 °C over
many parts. At the same time, northern parts of India also has higher temperature
(>1 °C). Consistent with the correlation map shown in Fig. 5b, major parts of western Himalaya including the Karakoram and Hindukush region experience more rain
in excess years than the deficit years (Fig. 6b).
