Lead–lag analysis of sea surface temperature vs moisture transport and precipitation. Lead-lag correlation between sea surface temperature (SST) and the zonal component of the vertically integrated moisture flux (VIMFU, moist westerlies) and precipitation. SST is averaged over the northern Arabian Sea (55°–70° E, 15°–23° N), and VIMFU (70°–80° E, 18°–22° N) and the precipitation (76°–86° E, 19°–26° N) over central India where it shows the maximum correlation with the SST. The SST anomalies show maximum correlation with the moist westerlies and rain events over central India at 2–3 weeks lead
