Characteristics of Beginning of Summer

1. People usually regard the Beginning of Summer as an important solar term when the temperature rises significantly, the hot summer is approaching, thunderstorms increase, and crops enter the peak growth season.
2. Before the beginning of summer, most temperatures rise quickly, but there is still not much precipitation. In addition, spring is windy, evaporation is strong, the atmosphere is dry and the soil is dry, which seriously affects the normal growth of crops.
3. As the agricultural proverb says, "If it doesn't rain after the beginning of summer, the plows and harrows will have to be hung high." After the beginning of summer, it is the critical period for large-scale planting of early rice. The arrival of rain and the amount of rainfall during this period are closely related to the future harvest.
