4. It is considered unlucky for it to rain on the Day of Start of Summer. Rain on this day, for example, would mean a wetter tea season for tea leaves, which in the era when tea was made by hand, would add extra burden to tea farmers with the process of "frying water grass." After the Day of Start of Summer, the south of the Yangtze River officially enters the rainy season, with continuous overcast and rainy days not only causing damage to crops but also triggering the outbreak of various diseases. Particularly for crops like wheat and rice, which are prone to pests and diseases, those engaged in agricultural labor should also pay attention to the prevention and control of pests and diseases. In our country, the rainy season in the south is from April to September, and in the north from June to September. Our country has a monsoon climate with a significant difference in the seasonal distribution of rainfall. During this season, heavy rains and torrential downpours are common, accounting for about 70% of the annual total rainfall, so the rainy season is also quite prominent. On a broader scale, generally speaking, the rainy season in the south is from April to September, and in the north from June to September, with a difference of 2 to 3 months. The rainy season ends earlier in the north and later in the south, with a difference of only about 20 days on average.
