Meteorological change

During the hot summer, just before and after midsummer, the weather entered the hottest period of the year, which coincided with the same season of rain and heat, and the rainfall increased significantly compared with other months. Monsoon climate is the main feature of China climate. In summer, affected by the warm and humid air flow from the ocean, many places in China are hot, humid and rainy. At this time, the sun is fierce, the temperature is high, the humidity is high, and there is much rain. Although it is inevitable to suffer from damp heat, it is very beneficial to the growth of crops, and crops grow fastest during this period.

Every year in late July (after the solar term of the great summer), the subtropical monsoon rain belt moves to North China-Northeast China, and from late July to early August (called "falling eight liters") is the rainy season in North China, Northeast China and other northern regions; Northwest China is the arid area with the least annual precipitation in China because it lives inland and is far away from the ocean.
