What do you mean by cloudy days during the summer solstice?

Proverbs believe that if the summer solstice occurs after 12 noon, it often indicates that there will be more cloudy days and continuous rain in summer.

As the proverb goes: "The summer solstice falls in the afternoon, and the strong yin comes out of the sky." There are different sayings for this proverb, one is the saying of weather changes. Generally speaking, the summer solstice is the day with the longest daytime and the heaviest yang energy of the year. The sun rises from the northeast and sets from the northwest. The ancestors said: The southeast is the local household, and the northwest is the Tianmen.

People welcome the summer solstice in the afternoon, which means the birth of yin energy. In other words, when we enter the summer solstice in the afternoon, it happens to be the time when the sun sets from the northwest Tianmen and the Yin Qi is born.

Convection weather

After the summer solstice, the ground is heated intensely and air convection is strong. Thunderstorms are often formed from afternoon to evening. This kind of hot thunderstorm comes and goes quickly, and the rainfall range is small. People call it "summer rain across Tiankan".

Liu Yuxi, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, cleverly used this kind of weather metaphor to write a famous poem: "The sun rises in the east and rains in the west, but there is sunshine in the road." The heavy rainfall caused by convective weather is not always as beautiful as described in the poem, and often brings local disasters.
