What month is the rainy season

The rainy season is in June and July every year.

Meiyu is a unique weather and climate phenomenon in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River in early summer. It is the result of the stagnation of the Yangtze River basin during the northward movement of the main rain belt in eastern China. Meiyu is over and midsummer is coming.

The change of this season every year is roughly the same as the movement of the rain belt with the season, forming a certain climate regularity. However, the annual plum rains are not completely consistent, and there are great interannual changes.

Meteorologically, the beginning and ending time of plum rain are called "entering plum" (or "standing plum") and "leaving plum" (or "breaking plum") respectively. In the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River in China, plum blossoms in mid-June and in early July every year, lasting for more than 20 days.

Extended data:

Meiyu season. In the past few days, the sky has been gloomy and the precipitation has been constant, sometimes big and sometimes small. Therefore, there is a popular proverb in southern China: "Rain hits Huangmei's head and there is no sun for forty-five days." Continuous rain, high temperature and high humidity are the main characteristics of plum rain.

Meiyu in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River ended, the sun hung high and entered the hot summer season. This kind of weather will last until the end of August, and then the rain belt will quickly withdraw southward with the gradual activity of cold air. In less than a month, the rain belt will always retreat to the coastal areas of South China.

The regular change of this rain belt shows that plum rain in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River is not an isolated and local weather and climate phenomenon, but an integral part of the main rainy season activities in eastern China.
