When heaven and earth begin to meet, what are the solar terms in which everything appears?

This is a long summer, where heaven and earth meet and everything shows.

"On that day in Xia Meng, heaven and earth began to meet, and everything was beautiful." Long summer is the seventh of the 24 solar terms. On May 5th or 6th every year, the sun reaches 45 degrees of the Yellow Meridian, which is the "Long Summer" solar term.

The characteristics of long summer:

With the arrival of the long summer season, the temperature rises obviously, the summer heat comes and thunderstorms increase, which is an important solar term in the peak season of crop growth. At this time, the sun shines directly from Xisha Islands to Leizhou Peninsula in China, and the average temperature in Guangdong is between 23℃ and 27℃. In most parts of the province, rice is mature enough for jointing or heading.

In addition, the rainy days and rainfall in the long summer season are further increased compared with the solar terms in Grain Rain. People describe the characteristics of rainfall and flood at this time as "long summer and small rivers are easy to irrigate". It can be seen that heavy rain or even heavy rain increases the probability of causing floods. Due to more rainy days, less sunshine and high humidity, sometimes there will be annoying continuous rainy days, and the humid and sultry air pressure is low and uncomfortable.
