The autumnal equinox falls after September 23rd of the Gregorian calendar every year, when the earth reaches the longitude of the Yellow River 180 degrees. On this day, the sun shines almost directly on the equator of the earth, and the length of day and night is equal all over the world. In the autumn equinox, most parts of China have entered a cool autumn. The cold air from the south meets the gradually decaying warm and humid air, which causes repeated precipitation and the temperature drops again and again.

Climatic characteristics

The autumnal equinox is a solar term representing seasonal changes. On the day of the autumnal equinox, the cold air from the south meets the warm and humid air that gradually decays, resulting in continuous rain and continuous temperature drop. In the northern part of the northwest plateau, the daily minimum temperature has dropped below 0℃, and you can already see the magnificent snow scene flying all over the sky and the earth wrapped in silver.

According to the lunar calendar, "beginning of autumn" is the beginning of autumn and ends with "the first frost". The "vernal equinox" is exactly half of the 90 days from beginning of autumn to the first frost. From the autumnal equinox, the climate has three main characteristics: the position of direct sunlight continues to move from the equator to the southern hemisphere, and the phenomenon of short days and long nights in the northern hemisphere will become more and more obvious, with shorter days and longer nights.
