Which is hotter in dog days or summer?

The weather is hot in summer, and the solar terms in summer coincide with the "midsummer" in the "dog days". This is the hottest period of the year, with the highest temperature and the fastest growth of crops. At the same time, various meteorological disasters such as drought, waterlogging and wind disasters are also the most frequent in many areas.

Summer is one of the twenty-four solar terms of the lunar calendar, and the sun is located in the yellow meridian 120. In the hot summer, China people have the custom of drinking tea, drying ginger and burning incense.

At this time, before and after the mid-autumn period, most parts of China are the hottest period in a year, and the growth rate of heat-loving crops is also the fastest. The working people in China divide the summer heat into three periods: "One is to wait for rotten grass to be fireflies, the other is to wait for the soil to moisten the summer heat, and the third is to wait for heavy rain."

There are more than 2000 kinds of fireflies in the world, which are divided into aquatic and terrestrial. Terrestrial fireflies lay eggs on hay, and when it is hot, fireflies ovulate, so the ancients thought fireflies were made of rotten grass.

The second weather is that the weather becomes sultry and the land is wet. The third kind of weather is frequent thunderstorm, which weakens the heat and humidity, and the weather begins to transition to beginning of autumn.
