When do you enter plum blossom?

May 2022: June 12.

Meiyu refers to a period of continuous rainy weather in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River in China from mid-June to mid-July every year. At this time, the utensils are easily mildewed, so they are also called "mildew rain", and when the plums in the south of the Yangtze River are yellow, they are also called "plum rain" or "Huang Meiyu". The time that the rain belt stays is called "Meiyu season", the day when the rainy season begins is called "entering the plum blossom", and the day when it ends is called "emerging the plum blossom".

Normal Meiyu and Abnormal Meiyu:

The average normal meiyu in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River begins in mid-June and ends in mid-July, lasting more than 20 days. But for each specific year, the beginning and end of meiyu and the intensity of meiyu are very different. As a result, plum rains are obvious in some years, not obvious in some years, and even empty plums appear.

Weather characteristics in Meiyu period: continuous rain, high temperature and high humidity. After the Meiyu ended, the rain belt moved to North China, and the Jianghuai basin entered high temperature and little rain.
