What are the signs of thunder in August?

If it still thunders in August of the lunar calendar, it is abnormal weather, and it is likely that there will be drought and little rain in the future. Therefore, there is a saying in the countryside that "there was a thunderstorm in August and there was a 180-year drought".

For the majority of farmers, it is more hope that the good weather will promote a bumper harvest in agriculture and make everyone's life better. In the past, farmers basically depended on the weather for food. If the weather is bad or there are natural disasters, they will face famine next. Therefore, farmers have to pay attention to the changes in the weather.

It should be noted that when there was no weather forecast at that time, people only relied on their own life experience and guessed what the future weather would be like according to the weather conditions of certain solar terms or seasons. Although this is only a matter of probability, it is better for everyone to take precautions. Maybe they will be prepared in advance if they really encounter it.

Just like the old saying in the countryside, "It thunders in August, and the drought lasts for 180 days", that is to say, it is not a good omen if there are frequent lightning attacks after August of the lunar calendar, which is considered to indicate that there may be a drought of 180 days, that is to say, there will be a drought for nearly half a year.
