Your basemap plot is likely setting the aspect of the axes to "equal", so
it resizes the plot accordingly. Otherwise you'd have a pretty nasty amount
of vertical distortion.
When you save the figure, using bbox_inches='tight' will trim the excess
white space from the margins:
Yes, the left hand axis is shrinking in the vertical because it is applying the
aspect ratio appropriate for 15 N and the N/S extent of your data. Either make
the N/S extent of the map larger; make the left hand column wider; or make the
figure shorter.

Thank you Paul,
Thanks for the tips related to margins and also about
colormaps. Is there a way to stop the automatic aspect ratio setting ( though
it it distors map in present case ) if I wanted to use that for other plots?
With best regards,

Hi Paul,
I tried to get the new colormap suggestion from you but could not get the
colormap package. Where can I get it? google search did not took me to the

Is it a development package?
May I know how to use viridis color map with an example plot?
Below is an example code from
