Meteorological change

The summer solar term is just around the Mid-Autumn Festival in the dog days, which is the strongest and hottest solar term in a year, and the "hot and humid steaming" also reaches its peak at this time.

The summer heat is the season with the most thunderstorms and abundant rainfall. High temperature and rainy period are basically the same, and rain and heat are the same. Monsoon climate is the main feature of China climate. In summer, affected by warm and humid air currents from the ocean, many places in China are hot, humid and rainy. At this time, the sun is fierce, the temperature is high, the humidity is high, and there is much rain. Although it is inevitable to suffer from damp heat, it is very beneficial to the growth of crops, and crops grow fastest during this period.

The summer solar term is the period with the strongest sunshine and the highest temperature in South China, the period with the richest rainfall, the most common thunderstorm and the most concentrated high temperature days in the west of South China, and the period with the highest temperature above 35℃ in the east of South China.

The intense heat is also the hottest period of the year in most parts of China. Except for the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and Northeast China, the weather is hot in most areas, and the high temperature of 35℃ is a common occurrence, and the high temperature of 40℃ often occurs. There is little difference in temperature between the south and the north of this country. In the northern inland areas, summer is dry and hot.
