At this time, the sun directly shines on the Northern Hemisphere, creating the hottest period of the year. Accumulated ground heat peaks and overlaps with the mid-summer "Fu" period (mid-July to mid-August), causing both the northern and southern regions to experience sweltering and humid "sauna weather." During Major Heat, intense sunlight, high temperatures and frequent rainfall create oppressive heat and humidity. Despite the discomfort, these conditions are highly beneficial for crop growth, as plants thrive and develop most rapidly in this season Traditional customs include drinking herbal tea (Fucha) to dispel the summer heat, and in coastal areas of Zhejiang, people hold ceremonies sending off the "Major Heat boat" to pray for safety and peace.
