Meiyu and summer drought are unique weather phenomena in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River.

In early summer, it often rains continuously in Jianghuai area (middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River), because it is the season when plums are yellow and ripe, and people are used to calling it "plum rain". The retreat of the southeast monsoon has caused drought in the south of the Yangtze River, that is, in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. Therefore, plum rains and droughts are unique weather phenomena in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River.
