The origin of summer solstice
On the solstice of summer, the sun shines directly on the Tropic of Cancer, which is the longest day of the year in the northern hemisphere. In Sichuan, it takes about 14 hours from sunrise to sunset. Although the summer solstice has the longest day and the highest sun height, it is not the hottest time of the year. Because, at this time, the surface heat continued to accumulate and did not reach the maximum. From summer to the future, due to the vigorous growth of crops, the rapid growth and spread of weeds and pests, agricultural production in our province entered the field management period, and the plateau pastoral areas began the golden season of grass, fertilizer and livestock prosperity. At this time, the precipitation in the west of the basin increased obviously, and the distribution of precipitation in the east and west has gradually changed since the spring, with more in the west and less in the east. If there is a summer drought, it is generally expected to be lifted at this time. In the past 30 years, although there were few floods in the west of the basin in late June, the degree was quite serious. Therefore, special attention should be paid to preparing for flood control. Summer solstice solar term is the solar term with the largest annual precipitation in the eastern part of the basin, which is often controlled by subtropical high, leading to drought.
