Old people often say, "Little summer rain, big summer rain". What happened?

"Summer rain is as light as silver and as heavy as gold".

It is said that the rain during the hot summer is as expensive as gold and silver for agricultural production. The reason why this proverb is regional is because during the hot summer, the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River are in the summer drought period, crops are thriving, the weather is extremely hot, water evaporates quickly, and the demand for rainwater is extremely urgent. Therefore, there is a saying that "summer rain is like silver and summer rain is like gold".

Entering July indicates the arrival of summer! The symbol of summer is high temperature and heat! But in fact, in addition to "high temperature" and "hot", rainstorm is also synonymous with summer!

From July/KLOC-0 to 4, heavy rains have been falling in Sichuan, Henan, Hubei, Anhui, Jiangsu and other provinces, and the highest precipitation even reached 200mm!

On the 5th, there were also heavy rains in northwestern Jiangxi, northern Hunan, southeastern Chongqing and central Guizhou, among which there was heavy rain in Jingdezhen, Jiangxi! Maximum precipitation in 6 hours is 2 19mm!

Tomorrow is the "little summer" in the 24 solar terms. As the old saying goes, "Light summer rain is like silver". In the season of high temperature and strong sunshine, crop leaves lose water faster, which is a critical period for water demand. Therefore, if it rains at this time, it is beneficial to the growth of crops! That is, the agricultural proverb often says, "rainy days are rainy and abundant in grain and cotton"!
