When the plum-rain season comes, the laundry hardly ever dries.
Tips
culture
The rains fall in June and July, when the plums of the lower Yangtze turn yellow; weather forecasts call the season 梅雨. The line 黄梅时节家家雨 by 赵师秀 pictures it.
usage
黄梅戏 (Huangmei opera) is named after 黄梅县 in Hubei, where its tea-picking tunes began, though the opera grew up in 安庆, Anhui.
