Is it hot in summer?

The summer solar term is just around the Mid-Autumn Festival in the dog days, which is the hottest period of the year, with the highest temperature and the fastest growth of crops. At the same time, various meteorological disasters such as drought, waterlogging and wind disasters are also the most frequent in many areas. In other words, the hot summer is the hottest period of the year, not a day.

Generally speaking, the summer solar term is the period with the most sunshine and the highest temperature in South China, the period with the most abundant rainfall, the most common thunderstorm and the most concentrated days of high temperature above 30℃ in western South China, and the period with the most frequent occurrence of high temperature above 35℃ in eastern South China.

The summer heat is also the season with the most thunderstorms. There is a proverb that says, "Without a drop of lightning in the east, the west can't walk", which means that if there is lightning in the east in summer afternoon, it won't rain here. If lightning is in the west, it will rain soon.
