What season is early summer?

Early summer refers to the transition from spring to summer, usually from late May to late June.

Among the traditional 24 solar terms in China, early summer is the second solar term in summer, also known as "awn seed", which marks the official start of summer.

In early summer, the temperature rises gradually and the sunshine time increases accordingly. The weather is sunny and there is less rain, but sometimes there will be thunderstorms and hot weather. Plants began to thrive, green vegetation gradually flourished, and fruit trees began to blossom and bear fruit, which was an important period of agricultural production. People also began to like outdoor activities in early summer, such as picnicking, swimming, camping and hiking.

It should be noted that the time of early summer is different in different regions, and the time of early summer in the north and south may be different. In addition, the influence of climate change in recent years may also lead to the change of seasonal alternation cycle.
