The arrival of little summer indicates that most parts of our country have entered the high temperature season, at which time most parts of our country are often visited by heavy rain. Because of the concentrated rainfall during this period, flood control and waterlogging prevention are particularly important. There is a saying that "a mouse is killed in a small summer", and there is also a summary of the experience of "a south wind blows in a small summer and a drought occurs in a big summer", which means that a south wind blows in a small summer and it doesn't rain in a big summer, which means that a south wind is the most taboo in a small summer, otherwise it will be dry; There must be a flood when it thunders in summer.

So is it good or bad to rain in small summer? Is there any indication for the future weather? There are many vivid and easy-to-understand meteorological proverbs circulating all over China, from which we may learn a thing or two, such as:

"There is rain and drought in summer, and there is rain and cold in slight cold." (Guangxi)

"Light rain in summer is like silver, and heavy rain in summer is like gold." (Su)

"What time is it in summer? There is no riverbank in summer. " (Ji)

"If it rains a little, the cow won't need it for forty-five days." (Sue) (It means that it will rain for a long time if it rains in summer, so we don't need cows for the time being)

"The sun won't shine in summer, and stones will open in summer." (Su, Xiang)

It can be seen that the rain on a small summer day can still predict the sunny rain in the following weather, and experienced farmers can take this as a reference to carry out the next crop management planning.

In addition, there is a corresponding relationship between thunder in summer and sunny and rainy days in the future. For example, there is a proverb about the relationship between summer solar terms and Huangmei, which says, "When it thunders in summer, Huangmei will be there in half a month". Thundershowers in summer are often the weather information of "yellow plum falling", which indicates that the rain belt will stay in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River for some time.

Moreover, the hot summer solar terms also have a certain relationship with the future weather. The meteorological proverbs in this respect are:

"It's hot in summer and cold in summer." (Shanghai, Hunan, Liaoning, Shanxi)

"The summer heat is very hot, and the summer heat is very cold." (Sichuan, Guangxi)

"It's cold in summer and hot in summer." (to)

"It's too hot in summer and cold in early September." (Su)

"The heat is unbearable, and it was cold in early September." (Ji)

"It's hot in summer and cold early in autumn." (to)

"The heat is not hot, and the slight cold is not cold." (Guangxi)
