What's the saying about sunny August 15?

As the saying goes, "August 15th is fine, January 15th is fine".

This agricultural proverb means that if August 15 is sunny, then the first month of the following year 15 will be sunny. The word "bright" here has two meanings.

First, light refers to sunny days. Second, it indicates that the temperature is gradually warming up and everything is beginning to recover. Whatever it means, the result is good. Therefore, just in the sense of this experience, it would be nice to have a sunny day on August 15.

The forecast result of sunny day on August 15 is better than that of rainy day. Especially from the perspective of agricultural planting, the sunny weather on August 15 is not only conducive to autumn harvest, but also conducive to the growth of autumn sowing crops. If it is rainy, the result is just the opposite.

It is cloudy on August 15.

There is a folk saying that "it rains and lights on the Lantern Festival in Yun Zheyue on August 15th", which means that if the Mid-Autumn Festival is cloudy on August 15th, it will definitely be rainy and rainy next year. There is a similar saying among the people. The ancestors said that "the clouds cover the autumn moon and the rain hits the lanterns", which is also the Mid-Autumn Festival. It will rain on the fifteenth day of the first month next year.

There is a folk saying that "it rains with lanterns, and it will be cloudy for thirty-six days", which means that it rains on the fifteenth day of the first month, which indicates that it will be cloudy for more than a month in the future. This is consistent with the saying that it rains in the first month and never stops in February. The rain on the fifteenth day of the first month indicates a bumper harvest in some places. For example, there is a folk saying that "the water tank is full on the 15th day of the first month, and the valley in Man Cang is full on the 15th of August".
