What is the solar term today?

Today is the solstice of summer. The summer solstice is the 10 of the 24 solar terms.

The solstice in summer is the turning point of the sun's northward movement. After the summer solstice, the direct point of the sun began to move south from the Tropic of Cancer, and the days in the northern hemisphere began to shorten gradually. For the area north of the Tropic of Cancer in China, the height of the noon sun begins to decrease day by day from summer to the future. For the area south of the Tropic of Cancer in China, the height of the sun returns to the south from summer to noon in the future, and it begins to decrease day by day after the sun shines again.

Summer solstice season is the "Meiyu" season in Jianghuai area. This is the yellow ripening period of plums in Jiangnan. The air is very humid, and cold and warm air masses meet here to form a trough of low pressure, which leads to rainy weather. In this weather, the utensils are moldy and the human body feels uncomfortable. Some mosquitoes breed quickly, and some intestinal bacteria are easy to breed.
