Minor Heat is the solar term before the dog days. Although the weather is not particularly hot, there is no sign of a drop in temperature.
A poem says, "The earth is boiling, the sky is steaming, and we are looking forward to rain and wind, and occasionally there is a thunderstorm and a half rainbow. Drought in the south and flood in the north, the new world, there is always a lotus pond with the same color and taste." (Zuo Heshui) The average temperature in southern China during the Lesser Heat season is generally around 33℃; in the low-altitude river valley areas in the southeast of South China, the average daily temperature may be above 30℃ and the maximum daily temperature may be above 35℃ in mid-July. In the northern part of the Northwest Plateau, frost and snow can still be seen at this time, which is equivalent to the early spring scene in South China.
With the beginning of Lesser Heat, the plum rain season in the Yangtze and Huaihe River basins ends one after another, and the vast areas in the east north of the Huaihe River and Qinling Mountains begin the southeast monsoon rainy season from the Pacific Ocean. Precipitation increases significantly and the rainfall is relatively concentrated. South China, Southwest China, and the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau are also in the southwest monsoon rainy season from the Indian Ocean and the South my country Sea. The middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River generally experience high temperatures and little rain under the control of subtropical high pressure. In some years, the cold air in the north is still strong around the beginning of the Lesser Heat, and is evenly matched with the warm air in the south in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, resulting in frontal thunderstorms. Thunderstorms during the Lesser Heat season are often a sign of "reverse plum rain" weather, which indicates that the rain belt will remain in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River for some time.
Around the beginning of the Lesser Heat, most areas in southern China enter the season with the most thunderstorms. Thunderstorm is a severe weather phenomenon, often accompanied by strong winds, heavy rains, and sometimes hail, which can easily cause disasters. In eastern South China, after the Lesser Heat, it is often controlled by the subtropical high pressure, with continuous sunny and high temperature weather, and begins to enter the summer drought period. Most parts of southern China have this climate characteristic of drought in the east and floods in the west.
