What are the weather proverbs?

The weather proverb has the following sentences:

1, when it rains, it lights up when it doesn't rain.

The horizon is particularly bright, which indicates that it will continue to rain; On the contrary, if the horizon is dark and the zenith is bright, it is a sign of sunny weather. On rainy days, due to air disturbance, the water vapor and dust on the ground are blown into the sky, so the head-up visibility is particularly good, but the vertical visibility is not good, which is the brightness of the horizon.

This is why a gloomy zenith is a sign of rainy days. When the atmosphere is stable, water vapor and dust are all concentrated in the low altitude on the ground, and the visibility is poor in head-up view, while the vertical visibility is excellent, the zenith is bright and the ground is gloomy. Because the atmosphere is stable, it doesn't rain anymore.

It would be nice if it rained in the morning, and it rained until dawn at night.

If it rains in the morning, it won't last long, but it will definitely be sunny during the day; But it's just the opposite when it rains at night. It usually rains all night.

3, jujube bud, planting cotton

The meaning of this sentence is clear at a glance. The buds of jujube trees burst open, indicating that the temperature in spring has reached a basically stable height, and the cotton planting season is coming.

4, mango is busy, mango is white.

Mango is the third solar term in summer, and the busy farming season reaches its climax around June 5 of the Gregorian calendar. This sentence means that sowing should be completed during this period, and after this solar term, the survival rate of crops will be lower and lower.

5. Seedlings are inverted at Qingming Festival and transplanted in Grain Rain.

During the Qingming period, it rains a lot, so farmers have to plow water to farm. Because the rice fields in the south were planted in winter, safflower seeds flourished during the Qingming period, and the plowshares were pulled by cows, and safflower seeds fell to the ground one after another.

First, the applicability of weather proverbs

The region with moderate latitude on the earth, about 30 to 60 degrees north latitude or 30 to 60 degrees south latitude, is the main activity area of human beings. In these places, the weather changes obviously, and the same climate will not last for many years. Today is a wet sunny day, and tomorrow may be a cold thunderstorm.

Although many people in the world live in the equatorial zone, in many cases, the climate in this zone will not change significantly. For example, the Sahara desert is hot and dry all year round, while the Indian subcontinent and the western Pacific are rainy all year round, and the weather changes little during the day.

Therefore, the weather proverbs in the Chinese world are mainly applicable to areas with moderate latitudes, because the climate changes there are obvious. However, the applicability of weather proverbs may be different in different regions. For example, the sun rises in the east and the rain falls in the west, because most of China is in the westerlies. If there is a rainbow in the west, it means that it is already cloudy and rainy in the west, and it will soon move eastward and rain. If there is a rainbow in the east, it means that the cloud and rain belt has moved away and sunny days are coming.

Second, the credibility of weather proverbs.

Through constant observation and repeated argumentation, weather proverbs are hypothetical, but they can also provide some useful information. Because weather proverbs are obtained through repeated observation and practice, they cannot be said to be unscientific. However, it has regional limitations and may not be universal. Using weather proverbs to make long-term weather forecast is also subject to the subjective limitation of meteorological changes, which is not necessarily feasible.

Because most weather proverbs are not developed on scientific knowledge when they are produced, they lack the scientific spirit of seeking roots. In fact, they just described the phenomenon without explanation, so there is no theoretical support. However, through continuous practice, weather proverbs are reliable enough to be used in daily life.
