1. Around the beginning of the Lesser Heat, most areas in southern China enter the season with the most thunderstorms. Thunderstorms are often accompanied by strong winds, heavy rains, and sometimes hail, which can easily cause disasters. As the eastern part of South China is often controlled by subtropical high pressure, it has begun to enter the summer drought period with many sunny days and high temperatures. The southeast monsoon rainy season from the Pacific Ocean has begun in the vast areas north of the Huaihe River and Qinling Mountains in the east, with a significant increase in precipitation and relatively concentrated rainfall.

Cabbage can be planted during the Lesser Heat season. When planting cabbage, you need to soak the seeds in clean water, wait for the seed coat to burst, then take them out and drain them, and then sow them in humus soil with rich organic matter content and loose soil. After sowing, you can spray the soil with a solution of carbendazim to make the seeds germinate as soon as possible. Cucumbers can also be planted during the Lesser Heat. During the care of the cucumbers, you can provide them with unpolluted river water or purified water to keep the soil moist.
