The reason why the solar term "Little Summer" is called "Little Summer".

Slight summer, the eleventh day of the twenty-four solar terms, is regarded as slight summer when the sun reaches 105 on July 7 or 8 every year. Summer heat, which means hot, is a little hot, not very hot. It means that the weather is getting hotter, but it is not the hottest, and most parts of the country are basically in line with it. Crops all over the country have entered a vigorous growth period, and it is necessary to strengthen field management.

On July 7 or 8 every year, when the sun reaches the longitude 105, it is called a slight summer heat. At this time, the Meiyu in the Jianghuai Basin is coming to an end, and the temperature in long summer has risen and entered the summer drought period; However, when North China and Northeast China entered the rainy season, tropical cyclones were active frequently, and the number of tropical cyclones landing in China began to increase. After the summer, the south should pay attention to drought resistance and the north should pay attention to flood control. Crops all over the country have entered a vigorous growth period, and it is necessary to strengthen field management. The sign of summer heat: plum blossom, lodging.
