What is your issue?

I have 2d data which I want to visualise. The visuals look completely different if I use plt.imshow() vs xarray_dataset.plot.imshow() There are mainly two issues - First, the array is flipped. (I think this is manageable but inconsistent) - Secondly, the plots don't look correct. This can be best illustrated by the figures themselves.

For example this is the xarray code I am using.

day_data.plot.imshow(cmap= "Blues", vmin =1, vmax = 100) plt.show()

And this is the image that I get.

Secondly, when I use the matplotlib to plot the values. plt.imshow(day_data.values, vmin = 1, vmax = 100, cmap = 'Blues') plt.show() I get this plot.

Since it is a discharge data I would expect to see the second plot. Can someone tell me what is the issue here?

P.S.

This is how day_data looks like.
