Whether the first half of 2023 is drought or waterlogging depends on the solar terms of rain, as the saying goes.

After the spring, the climate obviously warmed up and the rainfall gradually increased. In rural areas, willow leaves and flowers can be seen everywhere. As time goes on, the next solar term is rain. As the saying goes, "Spring rain is as expensive as oil", and the light rain in spring is the drink of crops, but too much rain will also bring certain disasters to crops. Solar terms guide agricultural production. In the folk, the sunny and rainy days in the solar terms can predict the next weather conditions, so the first half of 2023 will be drought or waterlogging.

The rain solar term is designed as the second of the 24 solar terms. At this time, the temperature rises and the rain further increases. Rain is one of the solar terms reflecting precipitation. Like Grain Rain, light snow and heavy snow, the features are very obvious. Therefore, the sunny rain of the rain solar term has a great relationship with the weather in the first half of the year. After the "rain", the temperature in most parts of China quickly rose above 0℃, and rape and winter wheat generally turned green. Rain has a great influence on these overwintering crops.

First, it rains and rains, and the rain does not rest in February.

This proverb means that it is rainy and rainy, so it will rain all February, which means there will be a lot of frequent rainfall. February is an important period for wheat to turn green, and rain is a rare natural phenomenon in dry spring, but after all, the ground temperature is not high at this time, generally below 10 degrees Celsius. Too much rain will gather in the field, which is a fatal killer to the root system of wheat, and will lead to wet damage and root rot, thus reducing wheat production.

For the southern region, the seedling raising of double-season early rice has begun. Although the sowing of rice needs rain, the rain will cause the temperature to drop, and the raising of rice seedlings needs sunny days. Such a light rain in February had to postpone seedling raising, thus shortening the growth cycle of rice and indirectly reducing rice production.

Second, cold rain and warm shock; Warm rain, cold shock

This proverb means that the temperature will be very high when the rainy season is cold and it will be very cold when the rainy season is warm. This is because the solar term of rain falls on February 18-20 of the Gregorian calendar every year, and the next solar term is surprise, which is March 4-5 of the Gregorian calendar. At this time, with the direct point of the sun gradually approaching the equator from the southern hemisphere, the temperature in the northern hemisphere began to rise, but the cold air also began to rise.

If the rainy weather is cold, it means that the solar terms in beginning of spring are still continuing. As time goes on, the temperature rises gradually. From the sixth day of July 9th to the second day of July 9th, the so-called "Seven Jiujiang Flowers Bloom with Eight Nine Swallows", when frightened, the temperature will be very high. If the weather is warm in rainy and solar terms, it means that the early stage is warm winter, which leads to abnormal weather in rainy and solar terms. This shows that the solar term has been postponed, and another solar term will be a surprise, and there will be a phenomenon of "cold spring", which is what everyone said. In rainy season, the weather is changeable.

To sum up, the solar term of rain has come, and its arrival indicates that the weather is getting warmer and the precipitation is gradually increasing. If there is little rain in early spring, spring irrigation should be carried out in time after the rain, and it is rainy in early spring, so it is necessary to ditch and drain in advance. Whether it is drought or waterlogging in the first half of 2023 depends on the solar terms of rain. The above two proverbs have long been known to everyone, and this is also a summary of the experience of the ancients.
