Solar terms after Grain Rain

Grain Rain is followed by a long summer solar term.

Grain Rain is the sixth of the 24 solar terms, so Grain Rain is followed by a long summer. Long summer is the seventh solar term in the twenty-four solar terms of the lunar calendar and the first solar term in summer, which indicates the official start of the summer season. When the sun reaches 45 degrees of the yellow meridian, it is the solar term of long summer. The bucket refers to the southeast, and the dimension is long in summer. Everything has grown to this day, hence the name Long Summer. Establishment means establishment and beginning.

"Xia" means "big" in the old saying. Everything grew up and was named Changxia. 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 presents the midsummer scene of "the trees grow dark in summer and the balcony reflects into the pond"; And parts of the northeast and northwest just have the breath of spring at this time.

Meteorological changes in long summer;

One of the climatic characteristics of the long summer solar terms is the obvious increase of showers and thunderstorms. The increase and intensity of precipitation are caused by the confrontation between cold and warm air and the convective weather caused by the rise of warm and humid air near the ground. Long summer is an important solar term, marking the peak season for the growth of all things. According to the standard of modern climatology (average climate temperature) in China.

Summer begins when the average temperature rises steadily above 22℃. Before the arrival of the long summer solar term, the scope of spring in China reached its peak. Except Hainan, Guangdong, Guangxi, south-central Jiangxi, southern Hunan and Fujian, it was summer, and most other areas were still spring. The arrival of long summer symbolizes the beginning of summer, and the long dormant summer begins to push north and reach North China.
