Is it spring or summer after Grain Rain?

The next solar term in Grain Rain is Long Summer. Generally speaking, the long summer doesn't come until summer, so it won't come after Grain Rain. Just after Grain Rain, it will not be so humid, and it still belongs to the spring when everything recovers. In Grain Rain, the weather is getting warmer in solar terms, and people's outdoor activities are increasing. The ancients counted April, May and June of the lunar calendar as "summer"; Today, people regard June, July and August of the solar calendar as "summer". The scientific division method is that the average temperature above 22℃ is "summer".

Grain Rain is the last solar term in spring. Before and after this solar term, there is a lot of rainfall, which is a good opportunity for cereal crops to grow sturdily. The early stage of Grain Rain is a good season for cotton planting. In this solar term, the temperature in the southern region rises rapidly and the temperature is on the high side. Rainy weather often increases the probability of pests and diseases, and farmers should take preventive measures.

Long summer is characterized by:

The temperature is obviously rising, the summer heat is coming, thunderstorms are increasing, and crops are growing in the peak season. In the long summer, everything is thriving. Because China has a vast territory and a large span from north to south, natural rhythms vary from place to place. In the long summer season, only the area south of Fuzhou-Nanling Line in China is the real summer when the trees grow dark and the balcony reflects into the pond.

And parts of the northeast and northwest just have the breath of spring at this time. Summer is the best season for many crops to grow vigorously. Adequate light, suitable temperature and abundant rain provide necessary conditions for plants. In summer, affected by the warm and humid air flow from the ocean, the southern region is generally hot, humid and rainy.
