Rainwater solar terms

Rain is the second solar term in the twenty-four solar terms, which means that the sun reaches 330 degrees of the yellow meridian, and the festival is held on February 18~20 of the Gregorian calendar every year. Rain solar term means that it begins to rain, and the rainfall level is mainly light rain or Mao Mao rain. As the saying goes, "Spring rain is as expensive as oil", and suitable precipitation is very important for the growth of crops, which is a reflection of farming culture for festivals. Entering the rain solar term, there is no breath of spring in the northern part of China, but most places in the south are full of spring and a scene of early spring.

The rain solar term generally starts from February 18 to 20 and ends on March 4 or 5. In the rainy season, the direct point of the sun gradually approaches the equator from the southern hemisphere. At this time, in the northern hemisphere, the sunshine hours and intensity are increasing, and the temperature is rising rapidly. Warm and humid air from the ocean becomes active and gradually pushes northward to meet with cold air, forming rainfall. The rainy season is changeable, which is one of the seasons with the most cold wave processes in the whole year, with cold and hot, warm and cold at first.
