Will it rain in 2019? Why is it said that "spring rain is as precious as oil"?

Origin of “Spring rain is as precious as oil”:
The phrase "Spring rain is as precious as oil" appears in both the Song Dynasty's "Jingde Chuandeng Lu" and the Ming Dynasty's poem "Spring Rain". Volume 1 of "Jingde Chuandeng Lu" says: "A drop of spring rain is as slippery as oil", while Xie Jin's "Spring Rain" in the Ming Dynasty says humorously: "Spring rain is as precious as oil, it falls all over the street, making Xie Jin slip and making a group of cows laugh to death." This sentence means that the spring rain is as precious as oil, which describes how precious and rarity spring rain is.
Analysis of the specific matters of "Spring rain is as precious as oil":
Related to the small amount of water required by overwintering crops
Spring is the time when overwintering crops such as winter wheat start to turn green and mature into milky stage, and they need a lot of water. Corn, cotton, etc., from harvest to seedling, also require sufficient water, which makes the spring drought more prominent.
At this time, if there is rain, it will naturally become particularly precious, so there is a saying that "spring rain is as precious as oil".
Related to season
Spring is followed by autumn and winter, two rainy seasons. If there is little rainfall in autumn and winter, the soil condition itself will be poor, which often leads to consecutive droughts in winter and spring.
Related to the weather characteristics of spring
In the spring in Southeast and North China, the temperature rises rapidly and there are many windy days. Under the sunlight, the moisture in the soil evaporates violently, resulting in water loss. In addition, in spring, the power of warm air in my country is not very strong. The warm and humid air currents from the land mostly compete with the cold air in South China and Jiangnan areas of my country, bringing abundant rain there. As the summer monsoon strengthens, a small amount of warm and humid air arrives in North China, forming a dry season in southeast and north China, which lasts until July.
Analysis of Guyu climate:
After the Grain Rain solar term, rainfall increases and the humidity in the air gradually increases. At this time, we should follow the changes in the natural solar terms in our health preservation and adjust our health according to its climatic characteristics. At the same time, as the weather warms up, people's outdoor activities increase, peach blossoms, apricot blossoms and other flowers in the northern regions bloom, and poplar and willow catkins are flying everywhere. Rain brings forth all kinds of grains. With sufficient and timely rainfall, cereal crops can thrive. In southern China during the Grain Rain season, "the poplar flowers have fallen and the cuckoos are crying", willow catkins are flying, the cuckoos are crying at night, peonies are blooming, and cherries are ripe, and the natural scenery tells people: it is late spring.
At this time, the temperature in the south rises rapidly. Generally, the average temperature in late April, except for northern South China and some western areas, has reached 20℃~22℃, which is more than 2℃ higher than mid-month.
In the eastern part of South China, the temperature often rises above 30 degrees for one or two days, making people begin to feel the heat. The low-altitude river valley areas have already entered summer.
The relatively high spring temperatures in South China are conducive to early cultivation of major spring crops. The suitable temperature for planting sweet potatoes is 18℃~22℃, which is enough at this time. Experience in the old drought-stricken areas of South China has shown that if sweet potatoes are planted early after Grain Rain, the vines and leaves can cover the ridges before the summer drought, thereby enhancing drought resistance and achieving high and stable yields.
