?The Waking of Insects does not freeze the insects, but it will be cold until mid-May? The literal meaning of this folk proverb is that if the weather is warm and does not freeze the insects on the Waking of Insects Day, the proportion of late spring cold will increase, even in mid-May. There is also the possibility of a sudden temperature drop. I analyzed the weather conditions after the winter solstice and found that it will be cold after the Waking of Insects, and there is a high chance of even late-spring cold. I think there are two reasons for this:

1. I believe that the laws of nature are the most scientific rules

It is not cold in winter and not hot in summer. The balancing effect of nature is wonderful, as if there is an invisible hand pulling it. Originally, the coldest days of the year are the coldest time of the year, especially the 39th and 49th, which is the period of minor cold and severe cold. In the north, dripping water will turn into ice, and the ice will freeze three feet, so you can walk directly on the ice. Nowadays, for the entire ninety-nine days, we have never seen the frozen river surface. Forty-nine days, the river is still full of water and spring tide. The accumulated temperature in a year is certain, and it doesn’t vary much from left to right. Since you should be cold or not, and warm winter is like spring, then I’m sorry, the accumulated temperature throughout the year that is not brought down by winter can only be made up from other seasons. Old farmers always say: Whether it should be cold or not, the weather will not be good; whether it should be hot or not, the grain will not grow. ?Experience accumulated over a long period of farming production shows that the probability of various diseases, insect pests and natural disasters greatly increases after a warm winter. There are too many examples, especially of late spring weather. For example, the mild winter the year before last was followed by a cold spring during the flowering and pollination period of fruit trees last year, which caused heavy damage to fruit farmers and damaged fruit trees in many areas. During this year, many disastrous weather events such as hail, floods, and typhoons also occurred in many places.

2. Be prepared to prevent late spring cold and prevent and control pests and diseases early

The abnormal weather of the warm winter caused most of the eggs and adults to survive the winter without freezing to death, and survived until spring. The early temperature rise has caused the insect's breeding period to start and become active earlier. Once the best period for control is missed, it may cause serious reductions in crop yields. For example, winter wheat spider mites have shown signs of active reproduction in some areas, so timely pesticide application has become a top priority. In addition, due to the mild winter and relatively heavy precipitation this spring, there have been several rains and snowfalls. The temperature has returned quickly and the humidity has been high, which has also caused fruit trees to germinate quickly and winter wheat to turn green earlier. All these signs tell us that if we do not do a good job in preventing late spring cold, it is very likely that when most fruit trees are blooming and fruiting, a sudden strong drop in temperature will severely damage the forest and fruit industry again, directly affecting the quality of the fruit.

Based on the above analysis, I personally think that the weather will still be cold after the Waking of Insects.
