The present study reveals distinct spatial variability of summer monsoon precipitation in Indian subcontinent during Northgrippian to Meghalayan transition. Protracted dry phase lasting ~1000 yrs was observed ~4.2 ka BP in southern and northwestern India whereas 200–300 yrs event occurred in northeastern parts. Strong El Niño conditions beginning ~4.3 kyr BP were associated with the millennial long dryness in western parts but its influence was limited in the eastern region. Cross-verified, high-resolution records from different geographic regions of India are still required to ascertain if regional differences occurred in span and magnitude during Northgrippian to Meghalayan transition.Keywords
