When is Grain Rain in 2018 and what is its origin?
Grain Rain is one of the 24 solar terms in my country. The main feature of Grain Rain’s weather is heavy rain, which is conducive to the growth of grains. After Grain Rain, the temperature begins to rise steadily. An ancient poem says, "Fireworks are everywhere in Yangzhou in March." With the arrival of the third month of the lunar calendar, a riot of colour competes for beauty.

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. In ancient China, 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 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 mulberry trees. During the Grain Rain solar term, the high-altitude westerly jet stream in East Asia will once again weaken significantly and move northward. The warm and humid air mass in South China will be relatively active, the westerly belt will circulate frequently 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. Grain Rain is the last solar term in spring. At this time, the seedlings in the fields are first planted and the crops are newly planted, which need rain the most. That is why it is said that "spring rain is as precious as oil." |
