What do you mean by half dusk and half light autumn?

Half dusk and half light autumn means: Pinellia ternata is half autumn, the weather is uncertain, sometimes it is hot, sometimes it is windy, and sometimes it is cold.

Summer, it can be said that summer is a rest and a turning point in summer and autumn, half in late summer and half in early autumn. With the pace of time series, the temperature continues to fall. The average minimum temperature in summer in Henan is 20.5℃, and the dew season will fall below the 20℃ line, and it will slowly penetrate into autumn in cool nights and cool autumn rain.

In summer, that is, "out of summer", the high temperature will gradually withdraw. After the summer heat, the direct point of the sun continued to move southward, the solar radiation weakened, and the subtropical high retreated southward. As the height of the sun decreases, the heat it brings also decreases. The arrival of summer means that the hot and difficult weather is over. During this period, the weather is still hot, but it has shown a downward trend.

The disappearance of summer heat is a slow process. It doesn't mean that it gets cold immediately after the heat drops in summer. Generally, coolness will begin after the Millennium. After summer, the temperature gradually decreases and the temperature difference between day and night gradually increases, but the temperature is still high during the day.
