On May 28th, the Weibo topic "People in Guangdong are Really Going to Mold" has attracted attention.
According to the meteorological department, influenced by the strengthening of the maritime monsoon, Guangdong will experience a new round of heavy rainfall. The central and southern parts of Guangdong, as well as the western part of Guangdong, will experience even heavier rainfall. Residents are advised to pay close attention to the weather changes and take precautions.
It is understood that "dragon boat water," also known as Duanyang water, Longjiang water, and Duanwu water, is a widespread heavy rainfall phenomenon in the southern region of China around the Dragon Boat Festival.
Experts explain that around the Dragon Boat Festival each year, the warm and humid air currents in the south become active. When they meet the cold air moving southward from the north in areas like Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian, and Hainan, it often leads to prolonged and extensive heavy rainfall.
During this period, coinciding with the dragon boat races of the Dragon Boat Festival, people refer to the heavy rainfall during this time as "dragon boat water."
Continuous rain results in a large amount of water vapor in the air, increasing humidity. It is important to be vigilant against mold growth on walls during this time.
If mold on walls is left unattended, the fungi will proliferate rapidly. The spores they produce will burst and spread indoors. Even a slight airflow can carry these spores around.
Therefore, it is essential to prevent moisture and mold in daily life. You can purchase desiccants to place indoors or use air conditioning to dehumidify, effectively eliminating indoor moisture. Remember to replace the desiccant when its active ingredients are used up.
