Is there a scientific basis for Zhuge Liang to borrow Dongfeng?

Zhuge Liang lived in Longzhong, Xiangyang for a long time and was familiar with the weather and climate characteristics in Hubei and the middle reaches of the Yangtze River. Zhuge Liang's so-called "taking advantage of the situation" is a posturing, which is actually the result of his accurate "weather forecast"

Although Zhuge Liang did not leave any specific written records when observing astrology and astrometry at that time, the scientific basis can still be found by deducing the weather evolution from winter to around the day from modern meteorological science. In the middle reaches of the Yangtze River in the middle of winter, after a period of sunny and hot weather, the surface cold and high pressure controlling the middle reaches of the Yangtze River gradually changed the original properties of dry and cold air in the north, became warm and wet, and easily prevailed in the east wind, and the northwest wind on the Yangtze River quickly reversed to the southeast wind. Then the cold air in the north goes south, and the cold and warm air meet to form a rainstorm, and the wind direction will turn to the north wind. At this time, the southeast wind lasted less than 12 hour, which was often ignored, but Zhuge Liang mastered it.

On the one hand, it is related to the monsoon climate zone in Hubei Province. In winter, the cold air in the north frequently goes south and the north wind prevails. On the other hand, it is related to the geographical location of Chibi, which is adjacent to the Shogun Mountain in the south and the Yangtze River in the north, and may also blow a "cross flow" dominated by east-west winds.
