Thats the first thing that came to mind, I was thinking massive storms developing year round in Central Asia where the two air masses meet. Central Asia would be wetter, less arid and more moist and more moderate temperature wise.
But without the Himalayas the monsoon may no longer occur East Asia = No monsoon
