Will the weather be fine after Tomb-Sweeping Day?

After Tomb-Sweeping Day, it means the weather is getting warmer.

Generally speaking, after January and beginning of spring, the weather began to get warmer, but the feeling was not obvious. After the vernal equinox, the direct point of the sun crossed the equator and entered the northern hemisphere, and the northern hemisphere entered the summer half year, and the temperature rose rapidly. After Tomb-Sweeping Day, this change is more obvious. As the saying goes, "a spring rain is warm" is the truth.

Tomb-Sweeping Day, also known as the outing festival, according to the solar calendar, between April 4th and 6th every year, it is the season of beautiful spring and lush vegetation, and it is also a good time for people to have a spring outing (called outing in ancient times), so the ancients had the custom of going for an outing in Qingming and carrying out a series of sports activities. Tomb-Sweeping Day, also known as March Festival in ancient times, has a history of more than 2,000 years. Tomb-Sweeping Day is one of the 24 solar terms around April 5th in the Gregorian calendar. Among the 24 solar terms, Qingming is the only solar term that is both a solar term and a festival.

Although it indicates that the weather is getting warmer and more colorful, it is often "noisy". As early as the Liang Dynasty, it was recorded that there were often "strong winds and even rain" during the Cold Food Festival in Tomb-Sweeping Day two days ago. If it rains on Qingming day, it is called "throwing fire rain", that is, "Qingming rain" Is such a day, Xiao Du (Du Mu, Li Shangyin also called "Du Xiaoli") wrote.
