Is it good to have rain in Lesser Heat?

Regarding whether it is good or bad to have rain during the Lesser Heat, there are different folk proverbs across the country, and the opinions in different places are also different. Let’s take a look at the opinions from different places.
Theory 1: There is no sun in Lesser Heat, but stones are melted in Greater Heat.
This proverb means that if it is cloudy and rainy instead of sunny on the day of Lesser Heat, then the weather will be very good and the temperature will be very high during the Greater Heat. The ancients used the phrase "sunburning stones" to describe the scorching sun of that day. In many areas, there are similar sayings such as "The Lesser Heat is very hot, while the Greater Heat is cool and chilly", "The Lesser Heat is cool, while the Greater Heat is very hot". So this is a folk proverb that was created based on the local climatic characteristics.
The second statement: If the temperature drops during the Lesser Heat, the riverbanks will disappear during the Greater Heat.
During the Lesser Heat season, it will rain in many places. The ancients discovered that if it rains during the Lesser Heat, it will rain heavily or even rainstorms during the Greater Heat. Therefore, flood prevention and waterlogging prevention is particularly important. In some places, there is a saying that "the mice will be drowned in the Lesser Heat and the Lesser Heat", and there are also experience summaries such as "the south wind in the Lesser Heat and the drought in the Greater Heat" and "thunder in the Lesser Heat and the dike will be broken in the Greater Heat". It means that if there is a south wind on the day of Lesser Heat, there will be no rain during the Greater Heat. In other words, the south wind is the most taboo on Lesser Heat, otherwise there will be a severe drought. If there is thunder on the day of Lesser Heat, there will be a flood that will break the dike. Folk customs in many places believe that if it rains during the Lesser Heat, there will be floods during the Greater Heat. However, the weather conditions are different every year, and there is little scientific basis for this statement, so it can only be used as a reference.
The third theory: There is a thunder in the Lesser Heat, and the Plum Blossom Season will turn half a month later.
In fact, thunder during the Lesser Heat solar term is closely related to the Plum Rains. For example, in Shanghai, there is a saying that "a thunder in the Lesser Heat will lead to the Rainy Season in half a month." That is to say, if there is a thunder in the Lesser Heat, it is a sign that the rain belt will remain in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River for a while. For example: "Thunder in Lesser Heat means the return of the plum rains; if the plum rains reverse, they will last for 18 days", "There is thunder in Lesser Heat, and the plum rains reverse for half a month", etc. In Jiangsu Province, there is a saying that "If there is a thunder in Lesser Heat, 72 wild yellow plums will bloom."
