Although the beginning of summer is the first solar term of summer, people's attention is not very high, but whenever the summer solstice comes, there are related traditional activities among the people, which are relatively important.
As soon as the summer solstice arrives, it means that the hot and hot weather of the year is about to begin, because the dog days are calculated according to the third dry day after the summer solstice, which is often referred to as the ambush. However, it should be noted that the summer solstice is not an ambush, and it has not yet officially entered the dog days. At this time, Shanghai, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Anhui, Hubei, Hunan and other places are still in the rainy season.
Dog days usually begin around mid-July, with 30 days in some years and 40 days in some years. This year, there are 40 dog days, and they won't come out until late August. However, now does not mean that it is not hot, and there will be hot weather in some areas after the volt.

The summer solstice in 2024 is 4:50:46 on June 21 (Friday), and the lunar calendar time is May 16 in the year of Jiachen. Judging from the time of the summer solstice this year, it is in the morning.
According to the folk saying, "the early summer solstice is dry, and the late summer solstice is flooded". From the literal meaning of this sentence, if the summer solstice occurs in the morning, it means that the rain will not be very good this summer, and there will be a drought. If the summer solstice occurs at night, it means that the rain is better this summer. If the summer rains are good, the crops will not wither due to drought, resulting in reduced yields. However, the floods will also have an impact on crops, and hopefully this summer will be fine.
