The climate in the long summer season is basically determined.

It means that the harvest is basically certain.

In the long summer, everything is thriving. Summer harvest crops enter the late growth stage, winter wheat blooms and fills, rape is close to maturity, and the year of summer harvest crops is basically a foregone conclusion, so the agricultural proverb has the saying "Look at summer in the long summer". Rice planting and management of other spring-sown crops have also entered a busy season.

Before and after the long summer, it is the season of transplanting early rice in the north and south of the Yangtze River. Full-moon seedlings can be planted, but full-moon grass can't be planted. At this time, the temperature is still low. Immediately after planting seedlings, we should strengthen management, topdressing early, ploughing early, controlling pests early and promoting development early. Pay close attention to tail sweeping when sowing mid-season rice. At this time, the spring shoots of tea trees develop fastest. If we ignore them, tea leaves will get old. As the saying goes, "Grain Rain picks less and doesn't pick it in the long summer", so we should concentrate our efforts and harvest it by surprise in batches.

The dry atmosphere and dry soil in North China and Northwest China often seriously affect the normal growth of crops. Especially, the dry hot wind before and after wheat filling and milk ripening is an important disastrous weather that leads to yield reduction, and timely irrigation is the key measure for drought resistance and disaster prevention.

Meteorological changes in long summer

One of the climatic characteristics of the long summer solar terms is the obvious increase of showers and thunderstorms. The increase and intensity of precipitation are caused by the confrontation between cold and warm air and the convective weather caused by the rise of warm and humid air near the ground. Long summer is an important solar term, marking the peak season for the growth of all things. According to the classification standard of modern climatology (climate average temperature) in China, the daily average temperature rises steadily to above 22℃, starting in summer.

Before the arrival of the long summer solar term, the scope of spring in China reached its peak. Except Hainan, Guangdong, Guangxi, south-central Jiangxi, southern Hunan and Fujian, it was summer, and most other areas were still spring. The arrival of the long summer symbolizes the beginning of the dormant summer, which begins to advance northward and reach North China.
