Why India is so hot: AC explanation meme

Why India is so hot:
Overview
This is a humorous edited image depicting a 3D topographical relief map of South Asia and the adjacent Tibetan Plateau/Himalayan region. A split-system air conditioner is edited onto the map: the cold air-blowing indoor AC unit is placed on the frigid, snow-covered Tibetan Plateau north of the Himalayan mountain range, while the heat-releasing outdoor condenser unit is positioned on the orange/red colored Indian subcontinent, which visually indicates high temperatures. The meme answers the implied question of why India experiences such hot weather by jokingly implying all the waste heat from cooling the higher elevation northern plateau is vented directly into India, playing on the well-known climatic difference between the cold Himalayan region and the hot Indian subcontinent, as well as how split AC units function.
Origin notes
This meme was sourced from the RSS feed of the Reddit r/Meme subreddit, with the original posted title 'Why India is so hot:'. It is a digitally edited meme that combines a topographical map asset with 3D models of air conditioning units, created using photo editing software to deliver the absurdist joke about Indian summer heat.
