Highlights: [•] Triassic mudstones in the Tethys Himalaya show an abrupt change of paleoweathering. [•] Obvious change in paleoweathering degree is detected in the Lower Triassic sediments. [•] The change of paleoweathering indicates temporal arid climate in the Early Triassic. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
