Go to Mr. Shui Mo's website.Will it rain during the Grain Rain solar term in 2019?Although Guyu is a solar term that reflects precipitation phenomena, it does not mean that it will rain on this day. The Grain Rain solar term only indicates that there will be more rainfall, but it does not refer to the weather on that day.However, it is very likely to rain on the day of Grain Rain. Generally speaking, during the Grain Rain solar term, the high-altitude westerly jet stream in East Asia will once again significantly weaken and move northward, the warm and humid air mass in South China will be relatively active, the westerly belt will frequently fluctuate from west to east, and the low pressure and Jianghuai cyclone activities will gradually increase. Under its influence, there will be continuous rain or strong winds and rainstorms in the Jianghuai region. According to meteorological records, the probability of rain on the day of "Guyu" in a certain area is 58%, that is, there is rain on Guyu in 35 years out of 60 years, and 46% of them have higher annual precipitation; in the 25 years without rain on Guyu, 48% of them meet the phenomenon of "no rain on Guyu and lower annual precipitation". Therefore, some meteorological experts believe that whether it rains during the Guyu period cannot accurately predict the amount of rainfall in the later part of the year. What is the Grain Rain solar term?Guyu means "rain brings forth all kinds of grains" and it occurs when the sun reaches 30° of the ecliptic longitude on April 20 or 21 every year.During the Grain Rain season, in southern China, "the poplar flowers have all fallen, the cuckoos are crying", willow catkins are flying, the cuckoos are crying at night, the peonies are blooming, and the cherries are ripe. The natural scenery tells people that 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℃ to 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 also entered summer. What are the precautions during Grain Rain?In the Zhuang ethnic group areas of my country, there is a custom of not setting fires in the wild on the day of Grain Rain.It is said that Grain Rain is a good time for rain.

The most common taboo during Grain Rain is "banning scorpions". Scorpions are poisonous creatures and are considered one of the "Five Poisonous Creatures" and are to be expelled and banned. In Linyi, Shanxi. People sprinkle gray wine on the wall, which is called "banning scorpions"; in Tongguan and Mizhi in Shaanxi Province, people will stick scorpion-suppressing talismans on the wall, which are believed to be able to get rid of scorpions.
