Xiamen Evening News (Text/Wang Dongcheng Weishan Tu/Liu Donghua) The room was wet and the window was white. Xiamen citizens are not unfamiliar with this phenomenon. This is the phenomenon of returning to the south of the sky almost every year at this time of year. Last night this morning, Huinantian appeared once more. There are water droplets hanging on the walls of many citizens’ homes, and the floor is wet, and it is easy to slip and fall if you are not careful. Outside the window was a vast expanse of whiteness, and the surrounding trees and buildings in the distance were invisible.

Meteorological experts said that this time it was indeed the phenomenon of returning to the south sky. Huinantian refers to the phenomenon that the temperature starts to warm up and the humidity rises violently every spring. It is a name for a weather phenomenon in the southern part of my country. Returning to the south usually occurs in February and March, mainly because following the cold air leaves, the warm and humid air flow hits quickly, the temperature suddenly rises, the air humidity increases, and the surface of the icy object is prone to water droplets when it encounters the warm and humid air flow. “A few days ago, the temperature in Xiamen was low. In the past two days, the warm and humid air flow suddenly counterattacked, the temperature rose and the humidity was also increasing, so there was a phenomenon of returning to the south.”
However, starting from tomorrow, cold air will strike, the temperature will drop significantly, and the phenomenon of returning to the south will ease.
In the coming week, affected by the exchange of cold and warm air, Xiamen will experience frequent precipitation, and the temperature will fluctuate greatly. In terms of precipitation, today and from the 29th to the 30th, there are heavy rains to heavy rains.

【Health Reminder】
Take care of the spleen and stomach in wet weather
Xu Rui, an attending physician of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Siming Hospital, First Affiliated Hospital of Xiamen University, said that in humid weather, the humidity is heavy, and attention should be paid to the maintenance and conditioning of the spleen and stomach. The spleen and stomach deal with dampness. A weak spleen and stomach will accumulate dampness in the body, especially women are more susceptible to cold and dampness erosion. More humidity will cause heavy limbs, cold hands and feet, mental fatigue, sticky and tasteless mouth, loss of appetite, and unformed stools. With prolonged cold and dampness, women will also experience symptoms such as delayed menstruation, dysmenorrhea, abdominal pain or breast tenderness before and following menstruation.
Foods that regulate the spleen and stomach can be properly ingested, such as red dates, Chinese yam, and barley. Heavy humidity is also easy to catch a cold. You can eat some foods that increase your resistance, such as white fungus and lily.
In addition, the ground is prone to slippery in wet weather, and the elderly should pay attention to prevent falls.
