Which season does Guyu belong to?

Guyu is the last solar term of spring in my country;
The period around Grain Rain is a great time for sowing crops. Appropriate amount of rain is beneficial to the greening and jointing of overwintering crops and the sowing and germination of spring-sown crops. Farmers should seize the favorable opportunity to carry out spring farming production. Grain Rain occurs on April 20 or 21 every year when the sun reaches 30° of the ecliptic longitude. "Collection of Explanations of the 72 Lunar Calendars":
"In the middle of March, since the rain, the soil has become moist and the veins are moving. Now the grains are raining on the soil again. 'Rain' is pronounced in the falling tone, like the rain on my public fields. The grains are sown at this time, from top to bottom." The weather is mild at this time, and the amount of rainfall has increased significantly, which is of great importance to the growth and development of grain crops. An appropriate amount of rainfall is beneficial to the greening and jointing of overwintering crops and the sowing and germination of spring-sown crops. The ancient saying "rain brings forth all kinds of grains" reflects the modern agricultural climate significance of "Gu Yu". However, excessive rainfall or severe drought often causes damage and affects later production. The fact that Grain Rain falls in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River not only indicates its agricultural significance, but also explains why “spring rain is as precious as oil.”
In ancient my country, Grain Rain was divided into three stages: "The first stage is when duckweed begins to grow; the second stage is when cuckoos flap their feathers; the third stage is when hoopoes descend on the mulberry trees." This means that after Grain Rain, rainfall increases, duckweed begins to grow, then cuckoos begin to remind people to sow seeds, and finally hoopoes begin to be seen on the mulberry trees.

Will it rain on the day of Grain Rain?

There is no necessary connection between Guyu and rain;
There is an agricultural proverb about Grain Rain: "It should be sunny during Qingming and rainy during Grain Rain. If there is no rain during Grain Rain, people will cry for rain later." Most people believe that if there is no rain during Grain Rain, there will be a drought that year, and there will be no good weather, crops will not grow well, and there will be no good harvest. There are also agricultural proverbs that say: "It is gloomy in Grain Rain, and it rains heavily in Beginning of Summer" and "If it rains in Grain Rain, there will be no dry soil for forty-five days." It seems that this rain is a good sign. It is a "precious as oil" spring rain that comes when we need it.
However, according to meteorological records, the probability of rain in a certain area on the day of "Guyu" is 58%, that is, there is rain on Guyu in 35 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.
