What is the saying about rain at the beginning of summer?

After the beginning of summer, we officially enter the rainy season, with both rainfall and rainy days increasing significantly.
Spring is for growth, summer is for growth, autumn is for harvest and winter is for storage. Summer is the best season for many crops to grow vigorously. Sufficient sunlight, suitable temperature and abundant rainfall provide the plants with the necessary conditions.
It may not rain on the day of the Beginning of Summer, but if it rains it will be beneficial for a good harvest that year.
The Beginning of Summer falls on May 5th, 6th or 7th every year and is the beginning of summer. The "xia" in "Beginning of Summer" means "big", which means that the plants sown in spring have grown up. As crops grow, the demand for rain increases. Through long-term life and production practice, people have concluded that the weather on the Beginning of Summer can predict the year's harvest. They believe that it is best to have rain at the Beginning of Summer, otherwise "if it doesn't rain at the Beginning of Summer, the wheat will be dry and the crops will wither" and "if it doesn't rain at the Beginning of Summer, the plows and harrows must be hung high."

——Extended content: The origin of the beginning of summer

At the beginning of summer, everything flourishes. In the Ming Dynasty book "Lotus Born Eight", it is written: "In the first month of summer, heaven and earth begin to interact, and all things bloom." At this time, summer crops enter the late growth stage, winter wheat is flowering and filling with grain, and rapeseed is close to maturity. The harvest of summer crops for the year is basically determined, so there is a saying in the agricultural proverb "The beginning of summer determines the summer."
Rice planting and management of other spring-sown crops have also entered a busy season. Therefore, my country has attached great importance to the Beginning of Summer solar term since ancient times.
According to records, during the Zhou Dynasty, on the day of the Beginning of Summer, the ancient emperor would lead civil and military officials to the southern suburbs of the capital to welcome summer and hold a ceremony to welcome summer.
The emperor and his subjects all wore vermilion ceremonial robes and vermilion jade pendants. Even the horses, chariots and flags had to be vermilion to express their desire for a good harvest and good wishes.
In the palace, "the ice melted on the day of the beginning of summer and gifts were bestowed on civil and military officials." The ice was stored in the previous winter and given by the emperor to all officials.
