Summer solstice is one of the 24 solar terms, which occurs on June 2 1 or 22 of the Gregorian calendar every year. On the solstice in summer, the direct sunlight on the ground reaches the northernmost point of the year and almost directly reaches the Tropic of Cancer. At this time, the day in the northern hemisphere is the longest, and the farther north it is, the longer it is.

China folks divide 15 days from summer to the future into three "hours", usually the first three days, the middle five days and the last seven days. During this period, the temperature in most parts of China was high, the sunshine was sufficient, the crops grew rapidly, and the physiological and ecological water demand was high. At this time, the precipitation has a great influence on agricultural output, and there is a saying that "raindrops are worth tens of millions in summer solstice".
