Where is the most popular rainy season?

  China Weather Network News Today (February 19), we usher in the second solar term in the twenty-four solar terms - rain.

The ancients said: "The east wind thaws, and the ice and snow are scattered and turned into water, which turns into rain, hence the name rain." What are the climatic characteristics of the rainy term?

Which cities are most prone to "rain"?

What is the national weather situation in the early days of the rainy and solar terms this year?

  Rainfall, solar term, rainfall is gradually abundant, and Guiyang has the highest probability of "raining"

  In the countdown to the opening ceremony of this year's Beijing Winter Olympics, the phrase "sneak into the night with the wind, moisten things silently" made a romantic comment on the rainy season.

Spring is naturally inseparable from the moisturizing of water. Before and after the rainy season, the vegetation sprouts, the snow and ice melt, the rain increases, and spring is approaching.

  Song Yingjie also mentioned in "The Twenty-Four Solar Terms" that the rainwater solar term should contain three meanings, one is melting, the other is the increase in the total amount of precipitation, and the third is the reduction in snowfall.

Judging from the average precipitation of my country's perennial winter and spring solar terms, after entering the spring solar term, my country's precipitation generally shows an increasing trend. Compared with the Spring Festival, the rainfall increases significantly.

At the same time, in the rainy season, the snowfall began to decrease, but it has not yet ended.

Therefore, the increase of rainfall is the most important climatic feature of the rainy solar term.

  So during the rainy season, which places are most prone to "rain"?

China Weather Network has counted the precipitation probability of provincial capital cities throughout the country during the rainy solar term, and found that the top ten cities with the "rain" probability are all concentrated in the south.

Among them, Guiyang came out on top with a probability of 59.1%, followed by Changsha, Fuzhou, Nanchang and Hangzhou in the second to fifth places, with a probability of "raining" above 50%.

  In the early stage of the rainy season this year

  In the early days of the rainy and solar terms this year, the south of my country will still suffer from "wet and cold attacks", while the north is frequently disturbed by cold air.

According to Zhang Juan, a meteorological analyst at China Weather Network, it is expected that until February 25, most of southern China will continue to experience low temperature and rainy weather.

Among them, the accumulated precipitation in Southwest China, Jiangnan and South China was significantly higher than the same period of the previous year.

  At the same time, in the early days of the rainy and solar terms this year, the cold air process affecting our country is still frequent.

Affected by the combination of cloudy, rainy, snowy and cold air, the average temperature in most areas of my country will be 1-4°C lower than the same period of the previous year, among which central Inner Mongolia, northern North China, Guizhou, southern Hunan, Guangxi and other places are more than 5°C lower.

Beginning on February 24, the power of cold air has weakened, most of the north will usher in warming, and the cold and wet feeling in the south will gradually ease.

  From warm to cold, rapid changes in temperature are often prone to various diseases such as the respiratory system. The sudden drop in temperature will also make the elderly more uncomfortable, which is even more unfavorable for patients with high blood pressure, heart disease, and asthma.

Therefore, in the rainy season, everyone should not rush to take off winter clothes and change spring clothes, but still pay attention to cold protection and warmth.

  Rainfall customs: the taste of the new year has not yet been dissipated, dragon and lion dances add to the atmosphere

  Generally speaking, when the rainy solar term comes, most of the Spring Festival has just passed, or it is similar to the Lantern Festival, so the flavor of the year still has an aftertaste.

In some places, dragon dances, lion dances, lotus-picking boats and other activities will still be held at this time to continue the festive atmosphere of the festival.

  In addition, in the western Sichuan area, there is a traditional custom of "returning to the mother's house" when it rains.

Usually married daughters go back to their parents' home on the "Rain Festival" to visit their parents and bring some gifts.

The son-in-law has to bring two rattan chairs wrapped with red ribbons for the father-in-law and mother-in-law, which means wishing the father-in-law and mother-in-law a long life, which is called "suspension" by the folks.

  "When the rain falls, all things are blessed." The rainy season seems to be the incarnation of the natural spirit. When the warmth returns to the cold, it sneaks into the world, moistens things silently, allows the dead trees to meet the spring, allows the seeds to germinate, and also improves our life. New hope came.
