What month does the rainy season refer to?

Meiyu season refers to the climate phenomenon of continuous rainy days in June and July every year. Because it is the mature period of plums in Jiangnan, it is called "Meiyu", and this period is called Meiyu season.

Meiyu refers to the weather and climate phenomenon that occurs in a certain area and a certain season. Meiyu is a unique weather and climate phenomenon in East Asia and the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River in China.

In early summer, there are often long rainy days in the Jianghuai basin. At this time, the utensils are easy to be moldy, so it is also called "moldy rain" or "mildew" for short; It is also called "Plum Rain" or "Huang Meiyu" because plums in the south of the Yangtze River are yellow and ripe. After mid-June, the rain belt remained in the Jianghuai basin, which is Meiyu.

Extended data:

There are many proverbs that use winter weather characteristics to predict plum rains. For example, "there is more snow in the twelfth lunar month, and the water is yellow and the plum blossoms are fragrant", which means that the snow in the twelfth lunar month is positively related to the plum rains.

"Spring water overflows and summer water dries up", and "flooding" means that there is more rain than normal. As the saying goes, if there is more rain in spring, there will be less plum rain in summer, which is easy to dry. Like "peach blossoms must be dried plum blossoms", spring rains are used to predict plum rains.

"Where there is spring breeze, there must be summer rain". Spring breeze refers to the east wind, and summer rain refers to the plum rain. The proverb means that when there is a lot of easterly wind in spring, there is usually a lot of plum rain in summer.
