What are the characteristics of the Grain in Ear solar term?

1. High temperature weather occurs in some areas
In June, high temperatures above 35°C are likely to occur in both the south and the north. High temperatures above 40°C may occur in the Huanghuai region and the eastern part of the Northwest region, but they are generally not sustained high temperatures. In Taiwan, Hainan, Fujian, Guangdong and Guangxi in South China, the average temperature in June is around 28℃. If it is before a thunderstorm, the air humidity is high and it is indeed hot and stuffy. Sometimes it is necessary to issue a high temperature forecast to the public to remind people to prevent heatstroke, air-conditioning disease and acute gastroenteritis.
2. Entering the rainy season
It rains a lot along the river during the Grain in Ear season, and the Huanghuai Plain is also about to enter the rainy season. If there is continuous rainy weather, wind, hail, etc. before and after the Grain in Ear season, the wheat cannot be harvested, threshed and stored in time, resulting in lodging of wheat plants, falling of grains, sprouting and mildew on the ears, and "rotten wheat fields", which will destroy the crops that are about to be harvested.
After Grain in Ear, the southeast monsoon rain belt in South China becomes stable, and it is the time of the year with the highest precipitation. The middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River enter the plum rain season, with many rainy days, heavy rainfall, little sunshine, and sometimes low temperatures.
