Short summary
Using climate model simulations, we find that SE Asian tropical climate was strongly seasonal under Late Glacial conditions. During Northern Hemisphere winters, it was highly arid in this region that is today humid year-round. The seasonal aridity was driven by orbital forcing and stronger East Asian winter monsoon. A breakdown of deep convection caused a reorganized Walker Circulation and a mean state resembling El Niño conditions.
