When is the solstice in the summer of 2022?

The summer solstice is not only the tenth of the 24 solar terms, but also the turning point of the sun's northward movement. On this day, the point of direct sunlight reaches the Tropic of Cancer.

Characteristics of summer solstice weather

1. Convective weather

After the summer, the ground is heated strongly and the air convection is strong, and thunderstorms often form in the afternoon to evening. This hot thunderstorm came suddenly and went quickly, and the rainfall range was small. People call it "dividing fields in summer and rain".

2. Rainstorm weather

During the summer solstice, the temperature is high, the sunshine is sufficient, the crops grow rapidly, and the physiological and ecological water demand is large in most parts of China. The precipitation at this time has a great influence on agricultural output, and there is a saying that "the raindrops from summer to the sun are worth tens of millions". At this time, the precipitation in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River can generally meet the needs of crop growth.

In most cases, during the "summer solstice", it is the rainy season in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River and the Jianghuai basin. Frequent rainstorms can easily lead to floods and even threaten people's lives and property. Therefore, we should pay attention to strengthening flood control.
