Who knows that "every spring breeze comes one after another?" and "one autumn breeze comes after another?"

A spring breeze brings warmth, an autumn breeze brings coldness

Overview of weather proverbs

Weather proverbs are related folk songs that are spread among the people in the form of idioms or songs. Experience of weather changes. Our country's weather proverbs have a long history, a vast territory and rich content. Many of them can be used to make long, medium and short-term weather forecasts

It has a long history

Our ancestors have been interacting with nature. During the struggle, we observed changes in weather and accumulated rich experience. As early as more than 3,000 years ago, there are many descriptions of meteorology in the oracle bone inscriptions of the Yin Ruins. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Xun Kuang pointed out in the "Lun of Heaven" that "Heaven behaves in a regular way", explaining that the changes in weather and climate have objective laws, and proposed to "control the destiny of heaven and use it", emphasizing that people should understand, utilize and transform nature. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Wang Chong pointed out in "Lunheng·Cold and Temperature Chapter" that "spring is wet, summer is hot, autumn is cool, and winter is cold, and everyone is fine, and the four seasons are natural"; in "Lunheng·Change Chapter", he quoted the weather proverb " Therefore, if it rains, ants will migrate, earthworms will come out, the strings of the piano will become slow, and chronic diseases will occur." This means that when it rains, ants will move, earthworms will come out of their holes, the strings of the piano will become loose, and some old problems of the human body will occur. Jia Silang of the Northern Wei Dynasty also described weather proverbs in "Essentials for Qi Min", such as "If the weather is sunny, it will be frosty at night" and so on. There are also proverbs quoted in Tang poems, such as "The sunrise is clear and it rains", which explains the relationship between morning glow and rainfall in one sentence; Du Fu's poems also have proverbs about long-term weather changes such as "cuckoo encourages spring planting". There will be strong cold air. And some people compiled weather proverbs about rainfall into the "Xiangyu Book". "Mengxi Bi Tan" written by Shen Kuo of the Song Dynasty also quoted weather proverbs. Lou Yuanli of the Ming Dynasty quoted many weather proverbs in "Five Elements of the Tian Family", such as "If there is a spring breeze, there will be summer rain" about long-term weather changes, "A spring breeze will bring an autumn rain", "There will be no rain on the Double Ninth Festival but a clear winter", etc. , there are also proverbs about the relationship between "Bochu wind" and "drought", "The plum rain is passing by, and it is the first time Bochu returns." The proverb goes, "Bochu is windy and cloudy, and the drought sky is joyful. Look up at the blue sky, and the turban falls on the hemp bag." Li"; Bochu wind is the trade wind along the southeastern coast of my country. At this time, the plum rain has passed. Although there is an easterly wind that brings Bochu back for the first time, there will not be any heavy rain. It is just a "looking up at the blue sky" drought under the control of the Pacific subtropical high pressure. . Xu Guangqi also recorded weather proverbs in the famous "Nong Zheng Quanshu", and also used animals to make long-term weather forecasts. For example, "The lotus flower is called the water oiran, and it blooms before the summer solstice to control water." It means that the lotus flower blooms before the summer solstice. (Early) It indicates that there will be more rain in the future. There are also some ancient books, such as "Yue Ling Guangyi", "Feng Tu Ji", "Tian Jiazhi", "Yueqing County Chronicle", "Bu Sui Hengyan", "Nonghou Zazhan", etc., also record some weather proverbs, but these have written records. There are only a small part of the proverbs, and most of the weather proverbs are only circulated among the people. Therefore, it is very meaningful to collect and organize them.

Rich content

Due to the vast territory of our country, the weather and climate vary from place to place, so weather proverbs are spread throughout the country, starting from Heilongjiang in the north to the South China Sea Islands in the south, and from the East China Sea in the east to the west. There are weather proverbs everywhere in Xinjiang and Tibet. For example, Heilongjiang has "the early winter is cold and the spring rains are heavy"; the Xisha Islands in the South China Sea have many weather proverbs about typhoons, such as "The ancient dragon is basking in the sun, and soon the typhoon will arrive"; "the ancient dragon is basking in the sun" refers to a bunch of oranges under the sun. Yellow yellow belt; the East China Sea also has many proverbs about long, medium and short-term weather changes. For example, the Zhoushan Islands' "When the lantern is lit up in a storm, the rice flowers will blow off in the wind" means that from the 13th (lighting up) to the 18th (falling) of the first lunar month (Lamp) If you encounter a strong northerly wind, it indicates that there will be typhoons during the early rice blooming or harvesting in June and July; Xinjiang and Tibet also have many weather proverbs, such as "heavy snow in winter, warmer spring next year" in southern "Wind and sand", Tibet's "big wind and sand in spring, little rain in summer" and so on. Weather proverbs are very rich in content. Regarding climate descriptions, many places have "December Songs" and "Nine-Nine Songs". For example, in the Shaoshan area of ​​Hunan Province, there are "yin in the first month, stars in the second month, thunder in March and April, rain in May, clear in June, strong winds in July and August, frost in September, snow in October, and cold waves on November and Twelve." "Festival"; in North China and the Huanghuai region, there is also "No action on the 19th and 29th, walking on the ice on the 39th and 49th, watching willows along the river on the 59th and 69th, the river blooming on the 79th, wild geese coming on the 89th, and adding on the 99th One-nine cattle are roaming the land" and so on. Some reflect meteorological relationships, such as "warm after frost, cold after snow". Frost generally occurs under the control of high pressure after the invasion of cold air. After frost, it is usually a windless, clear and sunny weather, which is naturally warmer. Snow is often caused by the meeting of the front of cold air and warm and humid air. The main force of cold air is still behind, and the snow face absorbs very little solar radiation, which is one of the reasons for the cold after snow. There are many such proverbs, such as "Hot brings wind, cold brings rain", "One spring rain brings warmth", "One autumn rain brings cold (cold)", etc., which have certain scientific truths. Many proverbs are about long-term, medium-term, and short-term weather changes. Among the proverbs about long-term weather changes, there are also proverbs about droughts and floods, precipitation, cold and warm trends, about precipitation processes and cold air activities, as well as about rice freeze, strong winds, hail, Typhoon and so on.

Proverbs about wind

Wind is the flowing atmosphere, and the atmosphere is what we commonly call air. Some winds come from the north, some come from the south, and some come from other directions.

Because the geographical attributes are inconsistent in all aspects, winds from different origins have various characteristics. There is cold wind and hot wind; there is dry wind and wet wind. The wind blowing from the desert carries sand and dust; the wind blowing from the sea contains more water vapor. Therefore, we have different feelings in different winds and can see different sky scenes. Furthermore, if two different winds meet, they can easily conflict, and you can see sudden changes in the weather.

Wind is the easiest phenomenon to detect, so there are many proverbs about wind.

* The east wind in all seasons is the mother of rain. (Hunan)

* The east wind is a spirit. If it doesn’t rise, it will be overcast. (Zaoyang, Hubei)

The rain in the temperate zone and its north - that is, at about 30°N - is mainly caused by cyclones. The movement of a cyclone is always from west to east. In its front, northeasterly, easterly or southeasterly wind prevails. Therefore, when a cyclone is approaching, the wind direction must be eastward. Therefore, easterly winds can be seen as a harbinger of future cyclones. Because a cyclone is a type of storm and is the main cause of rain in temperate regions, we see easterly winds, which is a precursor to rainy days.

* The east wind is beautiful all year round, but I am afraid of the sound of the east wind. (Nanjing, Jiangsu)

* The easterly wind brought heavy rain. (Shanghai)

* The east wind is strong, so prepare a bamboo hat. (Hubei)

* The east wind is strong, so prepare a bamboo hat. The wind is strong and the clouds are rising. The stronger the wind is, the more it will rain. (On the Wind in "Tian Jia Five Elements")

The meaning of these sentences is: the east wind does not necessarily rain, but when the east wind is strong, it is terrible. Since the east wind is very small, then such airflow must come from a very nearby place, maybe it is a local airflow. All its properties must be consistent with the local environment, so the weather rarely gets bad. However, if the east wind is very strong, it means that the east wind in the front of the cyclone is air flow from a distance, and there will be a discontinuous surface of the air flow - a front - to move locally, so the weather will change.

* Southeast wind, dry and loose. (Jiangyin, Jiangsu)

* In May, the south wind causes floods, and in June, the south wind causes the sea to dry up. (Zhejiang, Guangdong)

* In May, the south wind chases the water dragon; in June, the south wind drives the starry night dry. (Guangdong)

* The spring south wind brings heavy rain; the summer south wind brings nothing. (Jiangsu, Wuxi, Hubei Zhongxiang)

* The southwest sky is bright and clear in June. (Wuxi, Jiangsu)

* The south wind starts in June, and nine out of ten blows are dry. (Hubei)

"Tian Hao Jie" refers to the good weather; "Chong" refers to mountain rushes, and "Ten Chong Gan Jiu Chong" means that nine out of ten mountains will be wiped out, and the drought is very serious.

This is a summer weather proverb popular in the southeastern coastal provinces. The southeast wind comes from the ocean, so why does it become dry again? We know that for rainwater to fall, on the one hand, there must be water vapor, the substance that condenses rain; at the same time, there must also be conditions for this water vapor to turn into clouds and rain. This condition depends on thermal convection or frontal activity between two airflows coming from different directions in summer in the southeastern plains.

Thermal convection occurs because the ground is extremely hot, and the air at the ground level rises upward due to thermal expansion and contraction. This brings the water vapor on the ground to high altitudes, where it cools and causes clouds and rain. But if the wind is too strong and the ground air flows too fast, it will not be concentrated on the ground and subject to strong heat, and it will be impossible for ground water vapor to rise. Also, in a pure southeasterly wind, due to the sinking effect at high altitude where it originates, the high altitude is often inversely warmer than the low altitude. In this way, it is difficult for the air on the ground to rise. Therefore, although there is a lot of water vapor in the southeast wind, it is still impossible for clouds to cause rain. There is no cloud or rain in summer, so the weather is naturally very hot.

Secondly, let’s talk about frontal activities. A front is an area where two different air currents collide. One airflow is colder and heavier, and the other airflow is lighter and warmer. When these two airflows meet, the light and warm ones will only rise. As a result, water vapor from the ground is carried to high altitudes and travels through the clouds to cause rain. There is only a southeasterly wind on the ground now, which means there is no other northerly airflow to conflict with it and form a front, so water vapor cannot rise and cause clouds and rain.

* The northeast wind brings heavy rain. (On the Wind in "Tian Jia Five Elements")

The northeasterly wind is an air flow that originates from the northern ocean, or originates from the northern ocean and passes over the long-distance ocean. The water vapor contained in it is naturally less than that of the southeasterly wind. However, because it is a cold air flow, the lower part contacts the hotter ocean or land surface in the south, causing the upper part to be colder and the lower part to be warmer, causing convection. As a result, the water vapor on the ground is carried to high altitudes, causing clouds and rain.

In addition, the front of the cyclone must be a place where northeasterly winds are active, so frontal precipitation appears again.

According to statistical results, in a pure northeasterly wind, the chance of rainfall is only 26% in winter and only 11% in summer, which means that the chance of no rain is 74% and 89%. If there is a northeasterly wind at the front of the cyclone, that is, a northeasterly wind zone with active fronts, the chances of rain are greater than sunny days. Therefore, the proverb "Northeast wind brings rain" is not necessarily completely reliable.

* The spring east wind brings rain to the ancestors. (Changzhou, Jiangsu)

* The east wind blows in spring and the rain gurgling. (Guangdong)

The meaning of these two proverbs is: The east wind blows in spring, which is a precursor to bad weather.

This is because, on the one hand, the ground warms strongly in spring. On the other hand, the warm air gradually becomes active, the air pressure on the continent gradually decreases, and the anticyclone moves eastward into the sea. Easterly winds will appear at the tail of the anticyclone. These easterly winds flow to the warmer land, causing the phenomenon of warm below and cold above. At this time, the air layer is unstable and upward convection is prone to occur, so precipitation is very likely to occur.

* One day there is an east wind and there is rain on three days; there is an east wind on three days and there is no rain. (Guixian County, Guangxi)

* The east wind blows on one day and rains on three days; the east wind blows on three days and it rains on nine days. (Wuchang, Hubei)

* The east wind blows on one day and rains on three days; the east wind blows on three days and there is no rice to cook. (Guangxi)

"Cooking without rice" is the result of drought and no rain. The cyclone moves from west to east, with east winds in front of it, but soon after it blows, it changes to another direction due to the advancement of the cyclone. Therefore, the east wind blows for only one day, or changes direction within less than one day, indicating that a cyclone is approaching, so it may rain for three days. If the east wind blows continuously for three days, it means there is no cyclone approaching from the west, so there will be no rain in this area.

Proverbs about clouds and fog

Clouds are dense water or ice droplets suspended in the sky. Rain or snow can fall from the clouds. Anyone who has experience in weather changes knows that the weather depends on the clouds hanging in the sky. Therefore, clouds are the appearance of the weather, and the shape of the clouds in the sky can express the dynamics of weather changes in a short period of time. Clouds are a phenomenon that can be directly seen with the naked eye, so there are the most proverbs about them, which are more in line with scientific principles.

Fog is also a dense collection of water or ice droplets suspended in the sky. In terms of existing entities, there is no difference between fog and clouds. But judging from the reasons for their formation and the environment in which they appeared, they are two different things. The bottom of the fog layer is close to the ground. It can be seen that the air layer that forms fog has not experienced upward movement. The cooling process necessary for water vapor condensation is carried out in the air layer that is stable on the ground. This means that in foggy weather, the atmosphere is stable, which is exactly the opposite of the unstable atmosphere in cloudy weather. The weather that evolved in the end was just the opposite. The cloudy weather is mainly rainy, and the foggy weather is basically sunny. Similarly, fog is also a phenomenon visible to the naked eye, so there are many proverbs about fog.

* The fog is thick in the morning, and the sky is clear one day. (Luan County, Hebei Province)

* Nine fogs and clear days. (Shangqiu, Henan)

* One fog and three eyes. (Wei County, Hebei Province)

* The foggy and poisonous sun. (Changzhou, Jiangsu)

* It was foggy and dew in the early morning, and the gourds were broken by the sun at noon. (Cang County, Hebei Province)

The fog in the morning is the product of ground radiation heat dissipation last night: because the sky has been clear and clear overnight, the ground heat has spread smoothly, causing the water vapor in the ground air to become saturated and condense. Into mist droplets. It can be seen that the weather cleared first and then became foggy. Morning is the time when the lowest temperature occurs throughout the day and night. Since the temperature is the coldest, the fog is also the thickest at this time. In addition, when the sun comes out, part of the oxygen turns into ozone due to the irradiation of ultraviolet rays on oxygen in the air. This small amount of ozone will cause a lot of fine dust in the air (mostly products of combustion, such as carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, etc.), which will enhance the ability to absorb water. Therefore, the fog curtain in the morning suddenly thickened. However, as the sun rises, the heat intensifies, the ground becomes too hot, and the lower air rises, so the fog droplets dissipate. From this point of view, the temporary thickening of fog in the morning is also the result of the cloudless sky and clear weather.

* The sky is covered with clouds at night, so you can walk in your shoes in the morning; the ground is covered with fog in the morning, so you can wash your pants. (Hunan)

The sky is covered with clouds at night, and there is no dew or frost on the ground in the morning. So if you go out in the morning, you don’t need to wear rain boots. This is because the clouds in the sky protect the ground from dissipating heat. If there are clouds at night, it will not be very cold in the morning, and the water vapor sticking to the ground will not condense into dew or frost, so the ground is clean.

There was a layer of fog covering the ground in the morning, and the weather was guaranteed to be good, so I just finished washing my pants. Fog is the product of sunny weather. If there is fog, it must be sunny.

* The fog is no more than three. (Hunan)

* The fog lasted only three, three or eighteen days. (Hebei)

* The fog will be thick for three days and there will be strong winds. (Hohezhite)

* If there is heavy fog for three days, it will rain heavily. ("Emperor Century")

There are many types of fog, and the causes of each type of fog are also different. However, what can be called heavy fog and can occur continuously for as many as three days is probably low radiation fog, marine fog, or tropical air flow fog.

Radiative low fog occurs under clear weather in the center of high pressure. Therefore, on days with low fog, the daytime temperature is very high. When the temperature is high, the air pressure is low. If the weather continues to be fine for three or four days, the local air pressure will drop significantly, so airflow from other places will blow here, and the weather will change.

If heavy fog occurs in ocean air currents, it is called marine fog. Because this airflow comes from the ocean, the temperature is extremely warm and the humidity is extremely high. This will then gradually reduce the local air pressure and cause weather changes.

In autumn and winter, tropical air currents often blow to the north. Because the ground is cold at this time, the air close to the ground also becomes cold and fog appears. This is called tropical air fog. The tropical air current prevailed for three or four days, and the local area must have been very warm and humid, and the air pressure also became low, and then the weather changed.

* The fog is cloudy in the morning and clear in the evening.

(Tai County, Jiangsu)

Early fog refers to fog during the day. On a cloudless day, when the sun is shining brightly and the ground is warm, the airflow can only rise to form clouds, but it will never rest on the ground to form fog. Now there is fog during the day, obviously there are clouds in the sky, and there is no sunlight. This is the scene of a cloudy day. Another possibility for fog during the day is that the cloud system inside the cyclone and on the warm front descends to low-level clouds that fall to the ground. This is the weather in the center of the cyclone. Of course, rainy weather is just around the corner.

If there is fog and clear weather in the evening, it is equivalent to foggy weather at night and early morning, and it must be sunny.

* There is fog and sun in spring, fog and rain in summer; fog and cool breeze in autumn, and fog and snow in winter. (Jiangyin, Jiangsu, Changsha, Hunan)

The weather is still cold in spring. When the sky is clear and cloudless, it is even colder at night. The cold and heavy atmosphere settles on the ground, while the warm and light atmosphere floats above, causing the temperature to increase upward. So the water vapor on the ground first condenses into fog, and then develops upward; but the temperature at high altitude is warmer and there is less water vapor, so the development of fog is limited to a thin layer on the ground. Its height is only a few feet, and the lowest one is only as high as the human body. After dawn, the sun comes out, because the sky is cloudless, the ground is hot, the fog rises and dissipates, and the sky is still full of strong sunlight. This is the explanation of "spring fog and sun". However, if the rising fog is prevented from rising by the warm air layer high in the sky, then the fog curtain will become a stratus cloud in the sky, and the weather will be cloudy. So "spring fog and sun" are not inevitable.

The weather in summer is very hot, the days are long and the nights are short. In one night, it is impossible to cool the air at the ground level enough to condense fog, so it is impossible to have fog on a clear summer day. If fog appears in summer, it may be due to clouds in the sky, heavy humidity in the lower levels, weak sunlight, weak ground warming, and no upward movement of airflow. This is a cyclonic weather phenomenon. The fog you see may be the low clouds inside the cyclone, so it's going to rain.

The fog in autumn and winter is the same as spring, and is also the product of sunny days, so the weather during the day is still mostly good, for the same reason as "spring fog". However, the sunshine in autumn and winter is no longer as strong as in spring. The so-called "autumn mildew and cool breeze, winter fog and snow" may be caused by the front of the southward high pressure, because fog often occurs when cold air mixes with local warmer air. When the high pressure first comes, the wind is quite strong and it can even snow in winter. If you are in the central area of ​​high pressure, there may be sinking westerly winds during the day.

* The clouds eat the fog, and the fog eats the clouds. (Hohhot)

The fog is followed by clouds and it rains; the clouds are followed by fog and the sky is clear. Fog is more common in anticyclones and the weather is clear; clouds covering the sky are more common in cyclones and the weather is bad. After the fog, a large cloud appears. It may be that the anticyclone has passed and a cyclone is approaching. It may also be that the upper air is very warm and humid, and the fog is dense and clouds appear. This is the scene before rain. On the contrary, if the clouds disappear and the fog rises, it means that the cyclone has gone and clear anticyclonic weather has arrived, and the weather will be fine.

* The fog descends from the mountains and the ground is not dry. (Hohhot)

* Clouds covered the bottom of the mountain, with thunder and raindrops. (Hohezhi, Inner Mongolia)

* At the foot of the cloudy mountain, the feet are wet. (Yiwu, Zhejiang)

This refers to the phenomenon of clouds on the mountains falling to the ground.

This is the cloud system inside the cyclone. The closer to the low pressure center, the closer it is to the rain area. Therefore, the phenomenon of lower clouds means that it will rain soon and the ground will stop drying.

(Yiwu, Zhejiang, Yuanxi, Jiangsu)

Fog generally appears on clear nights. Under normal circumstances, after sunrise, as the sun rises, the fog will slowly dissipate, and good weather will appear. If the fog does not clear after sunrise, it is likely that there are clouds above the fog. At this time, the fog can rise and become integrated with the clouds, making the clouds thicker and causing continuous drizzle.

* The mountains are covered with rain, while the river is covered with sunshine. (Fuling, Sichuan)

The cover on the top of the mountain is the low cloud covering the mountain. This is the scene in the rain zone at the center of the cyclone, so it's going to rain. The cover on the river surface is radiation low fog. It is the product of sunny days. It appears because the sky is cloudless and the result of heat dissipation from the ground, so it is said that "the river cover is clear."

* The zenith should be pierced in the morning, and the four legs should be hanging in the evening. ("Tian Jia Five Elements" On the Sun)

* There is sky in the morning and earth in the evening, which governs the eyes; otherwise, it rains. ("Tian Jia Five Elements" On the Sun)

"The morning has the sky" and "the morning has the sky to penetrate", "the evening has the earth" and "the evening has to hang on all fours" have the same meaning, and they are all the words of a sunny day mega.

After the sun sets on a sunny day, the air on the ground becomes calm and motionless, and the morning air is even more silent. At this time, only low fog condenses on the ground, and there are no clouds. Therefore, "zenith penetration" has become a guarantee of fine weather. On a clear day with strong sunlight, ground air currents can rise and form clouds; but the four directions on the horizon are suspended and clean. This kind of cloud occurs at the local zenith and may cause convective thunderstorms, but they will disappear soon. Therefore, the legs hanging in the air are also a sign of good weather in the future. If a storm comes from afar, there must be thick clouds covering the horizon, and it will never be empty in all directions.

Proverbs about rain, snow, dew and frost

Although the rain, snow, and hail falling from the sky and the dew and hoarfrost condensed on the ground are both changes in the water state of the air realm, they are different. It has its meteorological origin and also represents different future weather. Because these phenomena are the easiest to observe and are directly related to human life, such proverbs are quite reliable.

* The summer rain is separated from the cow's back, and the autumn rain is separated from the ashes. (Zhejiang)

* There are different days in ten miles. (Wuxi, Jiangsu)

Our country has a continental climate, and most rains in summer are thermal thunderstorms or showers. Thermal thunderstorms occur basically because the ground is heated and convective movement occurs, which sends water vapor on the ground to high altitudes and condenses into thunderclouds. However, since each part of the ground has different physical properties and responds differently to heat, the air temperature on the ground varies from high to low. For example, the temperature in forest and grassland areas is low, while the temperature in barren land is high; the temperature in asphalt roads is high, while the temperature in cinder roads is low. Therefore, within a very small range, the strength of air convection can vary greatly. Convection here can produce thunderclouds, but not there. And because the area of ​​thunderclouds is usually only a few square kilometers, we often see the phenomenon that it rains in the south of the city but not necessarily in the north. This is the so-called "different days in ten miles". In autumn, there are still some scenes of summer, so there is also a saying of "autumn rain separated by ashes".

* It rains in the east, and there is a wall; it rains here and the sun shines there. (Taiyuan, Shanxi, Anwei Quanjiao)

* In the southwest formation, even if you pass alone, you will lose three inches. (Tian Jia Wu Xing Lun Yun)

* I lived to be eighty-eight, and I didn’t see the formation of my head in the southeast. (Suzhou, Jiangsu)

Cyclones and other types of storms usually move from west to east, so only storms that occur in the west can affect the local area. Storms that occur in the east will only go eastward and will no longer affect the local area. That’s why there is a saying, “It rains here and the sun shines there.”

* When the rain hits, the rooster crows, and the umbrella never leaves your hand. (Yiwu, Zhejiang)

* When it rains, the roosters crow ugly, don’t leave your umbrella; when the rain hits the garrison at dusk, it will be dry in the Ming Dynasty. (Nanjing)

In fine weather, there will only be fog in the morning, not rain. It's raining now, which means the weather was not good and there may be a distant storm approaching. The passage of a storm often takes one or more days and cannot be completed in a short time. Now, it starts to rain in the morning, so in the next day, you must "keep your umbrella in hand". At dusk, the upper air flow generally has a downward movement, and the original clouds in the sky are easily dissipated (because the downdraft is the hottest air flow). At this time, if there are pieces of rain falling from the clouds, it will not last long. However, if this kind of rain is a kind of storm rain (that is, systematic cloud rain moving from the west), then "rain hits the dusk garrison" may not necessarily mean "Ming Dynasty is dry and rainy".

* It rains in the morning until dawn, and in the evening it rains until dawn. (Shandong)

* The chicken crows and the rain does not last long. (Xiangshan, Zhejiang)

* When the rain falls, the weather turns sunny. (Fuzhou, Fujian)

* It rained in the morning and was sunny one day. (Cangxian County, Hebei Province, Qixia County, Shandong Province)

* It rains in the early morning and lasts until dawn. (Shaanxi Martial Arts)

* The rain hits the fifth watch, and the sun shines in the puddles. (On Rain in "Tian Jia Five Elements")

* The rain is not clear. (Same as above)

* It rains when the door opens, but it is sunny before noon. (Wuxi, Jiangsu)

* It rains when you open the door, but your eyes are closed when you close it. (Jiangsu Yuanxi)

* It rains early and the sky clears, but it rains late and it is hard to clear. (Wuxi, Changshu, Jiangsu, Yiwu, Zhejiang)

* It rains as early as five o'clock, so there is no need to hold an umbrella. (Yiwu, Zhejiang)

These articles all say that if it rains in the morning, it will be sunny, and if it rains in the evening, it will be a sign of prolonged rain.

* There is no clear sky at night. (Hebei)

* The sky is not sunny at night, and it will rain continuously tomorrow morning. (Guangxi Yulin)

* It has been raining for a long time to see the stars, and tomorrow it will rain even harder. (Same as above)

These three sentences all say: During the long rain, it suddenly becomes clear at night, but it will still rain tomorrow.

*It will be misty before the rain, but it will never rain; it will be misty after the rain, but it will never be clear. (Hebei, Shaanxi Wugong)

Under high air pressure, the wind is calm and the sky is blue, and the air layer is very stable. Dust and water vapor on the ground accumulate at low altitudes, so the sky is cloudy. Since this phenomenon is an indication of the stability of the air layer, so The weather won't get rainy. After the rain, the sky is still hazy. This must be after the warm front of the cyclone. In the warm area, the air is filled with light rain and water vapor. After that, there is a cold front with heavy rain, so the weather cannot clear up immediately.

* Before the rain, the hemp flowers should not fall too much, and after the rain, the hemp flowers should not fall for a long time. (Suzhou, Jiangsu)

"Mahua" refers to light rain, and "yu" refers to heavy rain. Mahua before rain means that there is no heavy rain but only light rain. This kind of rain belongs to the category of stable rain. For example, rain falling in a simple tropical air current. The tropical air flow itself is very humid and warmer than the ground, so there is no large-scale thermal upward movement. There is only dynamic upward movement caused by the vortex of the breeze. Therefore, it is impossible to have very high and thick clouds, only scattered, There are layered and thin clouds, so it can only rain lightly, but not heavy rain. Mahua after the rain means that the heavy rain has passed, and there are still a few drops of light rain, which means that the rainy day is about to end.

* One step at a time, the heavy rain has not yet arrived. (Hunan)

* A little rain is like a nail, and it will not clear up until tomorrow; a little rain is like a bubble, and it will not clear up until tomorrow.

(On Rain in "Tian Jia's Five Elements")

* Falling drops and foaming will determine the shower. (Changzhou, Jiangsu)

* Eggs laid in the rain fell to the Ming Dynasty for dinner. (Changshu, Jiangsu)

When it rains just now, the raindrops must be very big. Therefore, during the falling process, the raindrops no longer become round spheres, but become flat spheres. Under it, air can be wrapped. If it falls to the surface of the river, the air will be extracted from the river water and become bubbles. Because these bubbles are seen when heavy raindrops begin to fall, it symbolizes that heavy rain is beginning.

* The sound of rain makes me gasp, and the river is full. (Peng County, Henan)

The sound of rain is breathtaking, and the appearance of heavy rain. The rain was heavy, so the river was full.

* It rains during meals, with four fingers falling. (Qixia, Shandong)

The weather is hottest at lunch, the convection is strongest, and there is always a lot of rainfall, but it is not inevitable.

* In the rain, it was all in vain. (Hubei)

A cumulonimbus cloud hangs in the sky with all four legs empty. The rain it drops only reaches the local area, and it is over in one fell swoop. This kind of cloud originates from the local area and disappears from the local area, so the rainfall will not be too heavy and the rain period will be very short.

* The head of Fu is showered, and the tail is lowered. (Hebei, Shanxi Ningwu, Henan Songxian)

Dogtian falls at the turn of July and August in the Gregorian calendar, which is the hottest period of the year. During this period, if the air layer is stable, thermal convection cannot occur. Even if convection occurs, it cannot develop to the extent of causing thunderclouds in the sky and thunderstorms. Once this situation is created, it can last for a long time, making the weather hot for a long time without rain. But if the atmosphere is both humid and unstable, thermal convection will easily occur. A thunderstorm happened today and it will happen again tomorrow. Because under the same unstable air mass, its organization and structure can remain unchanged for many days. So in this hot weather, it doesn’t matter if it doesn’t rain. If it rains once, it’s likely to rain often.

* Rain scatters dust and people starve to death. (Hebei)

The rain is light and we can only sprinkle dust. The weather is too dry and drought occurs, so people will starve to death.

* It is warm after frost and cold after snow; (Southern Jiangsu)

* It is cold before frost and cold after snow. (Zhenjiang, Jiangsu)

* Don’t be cold when the snow falls, but it is cold when the snow melts. (Nanjing, Taiyuan, Shanxi, Shangqiu, Henan)

Frost and fog are both products of sunny days. Because the sky is cloudless, the heat dissipation from the ground is very strong at night, so the temperature can drop below zero, causing the water vapor close to the ground to condense directly into hoarfrost, so it is cold before the frost condenses. Wait until dawn and sunrise, because the sky is cloudless, the sun is very strong, the moisture of the frost is very small, and it does not require a lot of heat to melt, so the weather is quite warm.

Snow falls from high altitude. When it condenses, the temperature on the ground is not necessarily very cold. But in order for snow to melt into water, it must absorb a large amount of heat (the heat absorbed by one gram of snow to melt into water is equal to the heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of water from zero degrees Celsius to 80 degrees Celsius). This heat is absorbed from the air at the ground level, so it is impossible for the temperature to rise until the snow melts.

Proverbs about thunder and lightning

All thunder and lightning occur in thunderclouds.

* The fire door opens in the south and rain comes in the north. (Zhejiang)

* The south flashes for thousands of years, and the north flashes with rain. (Zhejiang, "Tian Jia Five Elements" On Electricity)

* The south flashed for half a year, and the north flashed before him. (Changshu, Wuxi, Jiangsu)

* The southwest is electric, and tomorrow is scorching. (Yiwu, Zhejiang, Changshu, Jiangsu, Yuanxi)

* In the northwest of the city, it is raining. (Same as above)

* Sunny with lightning in the southeast direction, lightning and rain in the northwest direction. (Yingcheng, Hubei)

* Sunny in the south and rain in the north. (Guangdong)

The lightning mentioned in these sentences occurs on a cold front and is called a cold front thunderstorm or a squall line thunderstorm. A cold front is located at the front of the cold air mass coming from the north, moving from north to south. If you see thunder and lightning happening in the north, you can see that the cold air mass will follow the cold front from north to south, so "there will be rain from the north." If lightning is seen in the south, it will definitely go south again and never come north again. At this time, dry and clean northern air masses prevailed in this area. It was relatively cold when it first arrived, but because of the clear sky and strong sunlight, the temperature would rise quickly, so it is said that "the southern flash fire door is open" ".

* Flashing eastward and westward, the eel is dazzled by the sun. (Zhejiang)

* Huohuo in the east, Huohuo in the west, tomorrow we will do divination. (Fuzhou, Fujian)

* The electric light is bright and bright, even on a rainless day. (Shaanxi Wugong)

There are generally two types of summer thunderstorms: one is frontal thunderstorms, and the other is local thermal thunderstorms. The former is caused by frontal updrafts, is distributed in a band, has a wide range, and has a long life; the latter is caused by local strong thermal convection, has a small range and is short-lived. "Flashing eastward and westward" is the second phenomenon manifested by thunderstorms. We can only see lightning and hear thunder, but no precipitation is involved. Therefore, "the lightning is bright and bright, and the sky is sunny even if it doesn't rain."

* In the third year of Donghuo, Beihuo was in front of him.

(Changzhou, Jiangsu)

* Pull east and west, and open fire in Boni Lake; flash south for one night, flash north and shoot at each other. (Hebei)

* Flashing eastward and westward is empty deception. Flashing south will stop for three days, flashing north is in front of you. (Changshu, Jiangsu)

"Dong La Xila" means "East flash west flash", and "Dong Huo" both mean that thunderstorms occur in the east. Because the basic airflow is from west to east, it no longer affects the local area.

* The thunder is going around in circles, and there will be rain soon. (Huangyan, Zhejiang)

If the thundercloud is too far away, you will not hear the thunder here, and you will only see the lightning flashing east and west. Thunderstorms are caused by air convection on hot days. Although there are no thunderstorms here, the local weather is still very hot. If you hear thunder in a circle, it means there is a thunderstorm happening very close. Because the nearby clouds are dense and the cloud surface is uneven, echoes are caused. Since a thunderstorm is nearby, the rain will arrive soon.

Secondly, when the cold and warm air collide over the local area, because they are evenly matched, they come and go relatively violently, forming a "circling" phenomenon. It is easy to form a front when it arrives. Therefore, the phenomenon of "it won't rain soon" appears.

* There will be heavy thunderstorms against the wind and light thunderstorms downwind. (Huangyan, Zhejiang)

* It is easy to go against the formation, and it is easy to open along the formation.

(Suzhou, Jiangsu)
