On July 2, the main rain belt of the mainland remained in the area from Guizhou to the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. Starting from the 3rd, with the northward lifting of the subtropical high, the rainy weather pattern in the above areas will come to an end, but due to the recent accumulated rainfall, it is still necessary to be vigilant against the lag of geological disasters. At the same time, the rainfall in North China, Huanghuai and other places will increase, and the drought in some areas may be alleviated, but it is necessary to be vigilant against the rapid turn of drought and flood. As the rainfall decreases and weakens, many places in the south of the Yangtze River will join the high temperature camp, and South China will maintain the "simmering mode", and the night temperature in many places can also exceed 25 °C, and the summer heat will last all day.
