What's the saying about no rain on the summer solstice?

There is a folk saying, "If there is no rain at the summer solstice, it will be the hottest time of the three months; if there is rain at the summer solstice, autumn will come early."
Summer solstice without rain, hot summer days:
“No rain on the Summer Solstice will make the dog days extremely hot” means that if it does not rain on the Summer Solstice, the dog days will be extremely hot. Because the dog days of summer are caused by the accumulation of surface heat to a certain level in the summer. If there is no rain during the summer solstice and a certain amount of surface heat is not dissipated, then the dog days of that year will be particularly hot.
There is also a saying among the people that "Summer solstice occurs in mid-May, which means that if the summer solstice occurs in mid-May, then that summer will be rainy and windy. If the rainfall is too heavy, there is a risk of farmland being flooded. Therefore, people rely on these proverbs to prevent possible weather disasters.

Are the days longer or shorter after the summer solstice?

The summer solstice is the day with the longest daylight in the year for us in the northern hemisphere. After the summer solstice, the daily daylight hours will become shorter, but the daily shortening time will be different at different latitudes. The higher the latitude, the more the daily time is shortened. After the summer solstice, the daylight hours are shortened very little, just a few seconds, but as time goes by, the shortening gets bigger and bigger, and finally the longest shortening of the daylight hours is 2 minutes or more.
After the summer solstice, the days begin to get shorter and the nights begin to get longer. On the autumnal equinox, the days and nights are the same length. Then the nights continue to get longer, reaching their longest on the winter solstice. After the winter solstice the nights begin to get shorter, reaching the point on the vernal equinox when the day and night are equal in length. The nights continue to get shorter until the summer solstice, when the night is the shortest. This cycle repeats itself.
