However, judging from previous years' experience, the main areas where it rains during the Dragon Boat Festival will be: the eastern part of the southwest region, southern Jianghuai, Jiangnan and southern China, among which southern Jiangnan and parts of southern China will have more rain.

In the Jiangnan region of our country, there is a proverb that says, if it is sunny and there is no rain on the Dragon Boat Festival in May, then there will be relatively little rain throughout the year. In this case, the rice will not produce seeds or even no harvest. Finally it rotted in the field.
Of course, if it rains on the Dragon Boat Festival, there will be other explanations. The most popular one is that people are most afraid of the water on the Dragon Boat Festival, not the ghosts on the Mid-Autumn Festival. In fact, the main reason is that if it rains during the Dragon Boat Festival, it means that the rainy season of that year will come early.
In addition, if it rains on the Dragon Boat Festival, the water levels in the rivers, lakes and reservoirs will rise. There is a custom of dragon boat racing on the Dragon Boat Festival. If the water levels in the rivers, lakes and reservoirs rise, it will affect the dragon boat racing.
Because the water is too deep, safety accidents may easily occur. And another point is that the Dragon Boat Festival and the Grain in Ear solar term are very close. During the Grain in Ear solar term, farmers are busy harvesting wheat and sowing summer crops.
Therefore, whether it rains or not during the Dragon Boat Festival, there will be different opinions, and the specific ones depend on the local customs.
