When the sun reaches longitude 105 degrees, it is called the summer solar term. Although it is not the hottest season in a year, it is followed by the hottest season in a year. There is a folk saying that "it is a little summer and a big summer, and it is cooked and eaten". Because of sweating, exhaustion and fatigue, people can't ignore the maintenance of their bodies.

3. The rainy season in summer is coming to an end, and the temperature rises in midsummer and enters the summer drought period; However, when North China and Northeast China entered the rainy season, tropical cyclones were active frequently, and the number of tropical cyclones landing in China began to increase. After the summer, the south should pay attention to drought resistance and the north should pay attention to flood control. Crops all over the country have entered a vigorous growth period, and it is necessary to strengthen field management. Signs of slight summer heat: plum blossoms fall.

The middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River are generally hot and rainy under the control of subtropical high.

Thundershowers in summer are often the weather information of "yellow plum falling", which indicates that the rain belt will stay in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River for some time.

6. Around the summer heat, most of southern China entered the season with the most thunderstorms. Thunderstorm is a disastrous weather phenomenon, often accompanied by strong winds, heavy rain and sometimes hail, which is easy to cause disasters.
