What month is the rainy season in Suzhou?

The rainy season in Suzhou is from June to July. Meiyu is a unique weather and climate phenomenon in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River in early summer. It is the result of the stagnation of the Yangtze River basin during the northward movement of the main rain belt in eastern China. Meiyu is over and midsummer is coming. The annual seasonal change and the movement of rain belt with the seasons are roughly the same, forming a certain climate regularity.

Meiyu season is a warm and humid air flow in the Pacific Ocean brought by the southeast monsoon in June and July every year, which passes through the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. Because it is the mature period of plums in Jiangnan, it is called "Meiyu", and this period is called Meiyu season.

At present, the academic circles believe that the East Asian summer monsoon began in the South China Sea summer monsoon (in late May on average) and belongs to the category of tropical southwest monsoon. The summer monsoon in the South China Sea gradually strengthens northward, and it is carried northward to the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River during the meiyu period, where it merges with the subtropical southwest monsoon on the northwest side of the subtropical high, cold air and wind speed to form the meiyu belt.

In the rainy season, the air humidity is high and the temperature is high, so clothes are easy to get moldy, so some people call the rainy season "moldy rain". After the rainy season, the weather began to be dominated by the Pacific subtropical high and officially entered the hot summer. There is no plum rain in other areas at the same latitude. There is no obvious plum rain in South China.
