Short summary

The simultaneity of rain and heat is an important hypothesis containing the summer and winter precipitation regimes. In this paper, eastern and part of central Asia (EA and CA) with a summer precipitation regime are selected to study the dry/wet status on multiple timescales since the Last Glacial Maximum. We found that although climate difference in EA and CA universally exists, climate linkages in EA and part of CA with a summer precipitation regime can be uncovered.
