When is the rainy season in Huangmei?

Meiyu period refers to the period of continuous rainy weather in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River in China from mid-June to mid-July every year.

At this time, the utensils are easily mildewed, so they are also called "mildew rain", and when the plums in the south of the Yangtze River are yellow, they are also called "plum rain" or "Huang Meiyu". The time that the rain belt stays is called "Meiyu season", the day when the rainy season begins is called "entering the plum blossom", and the day when it ends is called "emerging the plum blossom".

In the rainy season, the air humidity is high and the temperature is high, so clothes are easy to get moldy, so some people call the rainy season "moldy rain". After the rainy season, the weather began to be dominated by the Pacific subtropical high and officially entered the hot summer.

Extended data Although Meiyu is a unique weather and climate in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, its appearance is not isolated, but closely related to the north-south displacement of a large-scale rain belt.

In the east of China, east of 1 10E, the main rain belt swings in Nanling Mountains and its south area from mid-April to early May in flood season. In recent years, although it moved to the north of Nanling within a certain period of time, it often stayed in the south of 28N and 29° n from a waiting period (5 days) or the multi-year average of 10 days. This period is called "rainy season in the south of the Yangtze River" or "pre-flood season in South China".

In the middle and late May, the main rain belt moves northward within the range of 29° n-33° n (that is, it starts from Yichang in the west, reaches the Yangtze River estuary in the east, and then crosses the sea to Japan; From the two lakes plain in the south to the south bank of Huaihe River in the north, it is stable and less moving.

At this time, the area south of Nanling is outside the rain belt, and the rainy weather is over; The middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River bid farewell to the sunny early summer and ushered in the rainy season. Heavy rain and rainstorm appeared from time to time and lasted until the beginning of July. This is a famous rainy season in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River.

From mid-June, the rain belt moved northward again, reaching the area north of 33 N. Stagnation and wandering in the Yellow River, Huaihe River Basin, North China, Northeast China and other places have caused heavy rainfall again and again, which are called "Huanghuai rainy season" and "North China rainy season" respectively. At this time, the plum rains in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River ended, the sun hung high and entered the hot summer season.

This kind of weather will last until the end of August, and then the rain belt will quickly withdraw southward with the gradual activity of cold air. In less than a month, the rain belt will always retreat to the coastal areas of South China.

The regular change of this rain belt shows that the plum rain in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River is not an isolated and local weather and climate phenomenon, but an integral part of the main rainy season activities in eastern China, which reflects the stagnation of the main rain belt in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River.
