Meteorological change

Before the arrival of the long summer solar term, the scope of spring in China reached its peak. Except Hainan, Guangdong, Guangxi, south-central Jiangxi, southern Hunan and Fujian, it was summer, and most other areas were still spring. The arrival of the long summer symbolizes the beginning of the dormant summer, which begins to advance northward and reach North China. After the long summer officially entered the rainy season, rainfall and rainy days increased significantly. Summer is the best season for many crops to grow vigorously. Adequate light, suitable temperature and abundant rain provide necessary conditions for plants.

In summer, affected by the warm and humid air flow from the ocean, the southern region is generally hot, humid and rainy. Qinling-Huaihe river basin is a transitional area between rainy south and rainy north. From the vicinity of Huaihe River in Qinling Mountains to the north, the rainfall decreased sharply. Because China has a vast territory and a large span from north to south, the natural rhythm varies from place to place. Before and after the "long summer", only the area south of Fuzhou-Nanling line in China may enter summer, and most of the rest areas are still in spring, and some areas in Northeast China and Northwest China even just entered spring at this time. ?
