Why are there dry winters and wet years?

Because people pay attention to the solar terms from winter to solstice, the term "winter drought year" came into being.

As an important traditional solar term in the China lunar calendar, the "Winter Solstice Festival" is not only considered as a day for ancestor worship and family reunion, but also has a "function" to predict sunny and rainy days and temperature changes during the Spring Festival in the eyes of the ancients.

Folks have derived proverbs about climate change, such as "winter is dry and wet" and "winter is at the end of the month, selling scalpers to buy quilts".

There are many rural agricultural proverbs that can predict the weather, but they were very useful in the past and were of great help to guide farmers in farming. For example, the expression "dry winter, wet year, wet winter, dry year" is about that if it doesn't rain on the solstice of winter, but the weather is fine, it will rain again and again in the new year.

A wet winter is the opposite of a dry year. If it rains in winter, it will be sunny during the New Year and there will be a warm winter. Just like the solstice in winter, it rains and it is sunny until the end of the year.

Extended data:

"Winter dry and wet year" is not established.

According to meteorologists, the so-called "dry and wet years in winter" means that the sunny weather from the winter solstice means that it will be rainy in the Spring Festival next year.

But this is just a folk saying, and there is actually no scientific basis. There is no correspondence between sunny winter solstice and rainy Spring Festival. Whether it rains during the Spring Festival mainly depends on the weather system and atmospheric circulation before and after the Spring Festival.

It is not reliable to know that the weather in the next period depends on the weather on a certain day. This is still without scientific basis. Determining the weather for the Spring Festival still depends on scientific weather forecast.
