Summer has begun, and we have ushered in the annual rainy season. During this period, the sky always seems to be overcast, and the rain is constant, which brings a lot of inconvenience to our daily travel and life. So, when exactly will we have the rainy season this year, and when will we be able to send it away? What should I pay attention to during the rainy season? Let's take a look.

1. What is the rainy season?

I believe everyone clearly feels that during this time, there has been a lot of rain, especially in the southern region, and there have been floods in some areas. Meteorologically, this special period of rainfall has a rather elegant name called "Meiyu" (or "Yellow Meiyu"). The so-called "rainy season" is named because it happens to be the ripening of plums in the south of the Yangtze River during this period.

During the rainy season, there will be continuous rainy weather in the south of the Yangtze River, which generally lasts for about a month, and the rainfall is large, the air humidity is high, humid and sultry, and many things are easy to become moldy, so the "plum rain" is also called "mildew rain".

2. Different names related to "rainy season".

The rainy season generally occurs from June to July every year, and when the rainy season begins (i.e., the first day of the rainy season), it is called "Izume", or "Izume", and the day after the rainy season is called "Izume".

Of course, there are many different situations and theories about the rainy season, such as "early plum", "late plum", "empty plum", and "long plum". These names not only reflect the different characteristics of the rainy season, but also contain profound cultural connotations.

For example, "early plum" refers to the early arrival of the rainy season. Although the time of entry varies from year to year, it is generally in mid to late June of the Gregorian calendar. However, in some cases, the rainy season may start earlier, arriving at the end of May and the beginning of June. Generally speaking, the rainy season that begins before the solar term is called "early rainy season".

The arrival of "early plum rain" often gives people a cold feeling, as the saying goes, "after eating the Dragon Boat Festival brown, you have to freeze three times", which is what it means.

The "early rainy season" can adversely affect the crops, because the eve of the yellow plum rain is the critical period for the wheat harvest, and the rainy weather that comes early will affect the ripening and harvesting of crops.

In contrast to "early plum", "late plum" refers to the late arrival of the rainy season. The folk generally call the yellow plum rain in late June "late plum". The belated rainy season not only indicates less rain in the early stages, but also that the rain may be more concentrated in the future.

This situation is also detrimental to the growth of crops, as excessive rain can lead to stunted growth and even flooding.

In addition, "late plum" may also lead to the early arrival of summer heat, causing a double blow to the growth of crops.

"Soramei" refers to the scarcity or non-existence of rain during the rainy season. The drought during the Huangmei Rainy period is extremely unfavorable to the growth of crops. The rainy season is the peak time for crops' water needs, and if there is not enough rain at this time, the soil will dry up and the crops will wilt. At the same time, "empty plum" may also cause high temperature and drought weather.

On the other hand, "Nagamei" refers to the rainy season that lasts too long. Under normal circumstances, the duration of the rainy season is regular, generally between 25 and 35 days. If the time of entering the plum is early and the time of coming out of the plum is late, then it is "Changmei". Prolonged rainy weather can lead to excessive rain and humidity, which can cause a lot of inconvenience to the growth of crops and our lives.

2. What day will it be in 2024? When is the plum bloom?

Returning to the topic at the beginning, after learning so much about the humanities about Mei, let's take a look at the time of entering and leaving Mei in 2024.

Regarding the time of entering the plum blossom, there is a provision in the traditional Chinese calendar, that is, "the mango seed enters the plum every bing" (there is also a corresponding sentence called "the summer solstice three geng into the ambush"), that is, the first "C day" of the Ganzhi calendar after the solar term of the mango seed is the beginning of the plum rainy season.

In traditional Chinese culture, C belongs to fire, which is also synonymous with "fire", symbolizing enthusiasm and vitality, and placed in summer, symbolizing the hot weather of summer.

And the time of plum blossom is "after the summer heat, the plum is not out of the plum", that is, the plum blossom ends on the first day after the summer heat.

Let's calculate, starting with the solar term of the mango seed, this year's mango festival is on June 5, then the first day after the mango is on June 11, so June 11 is the time of this year's plum season.

And the time of the plum season is to see the Xiaoxia solar term, the 2024 Xiaoxiao Festival is on July 6, and the first day of the day happens to be on this day of Xiaoxiao. Therefore, the plum blossom on July 6 is the plum blossom time this year. In total, the entire rainy season lasts for 26 days.

3. What do I need to pay attention to when entering the plum?

1. Pay attention to the weather forecast

During the rainy season, the weather is changeable, so we need to keep abreast of the weather changes and make good travel and living arrangements.

2. Moisture-proof and mildew-proof

The humidity of the air during the rainy season is high, and it is easy to get damp and moldy. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to keeping the room ventilated and dry to prevent damage to the items due to moisture.

3. Pay attention to personal hygiene

During the rainy season, the temperature is moderate and the humidity is high, which makes it easy for bacteria to grow. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen personal hygiene protection to prevent the occurrence of diseases.

4. Keep a good mood

The rainy season is rainy and rainy, and it is easy to feel depressed, so you need to keep your mood happy.
