Spring Festival weather forecast

According to the proverb "the ninth day is not cold, the third day is not cold, and the first month is cold", we can speculate that the Spring Festival in 2024 may be a relatively cold period.

"It's not cold in the first nine days" means that it won't be very cold in the first nine days of winter, but pay attention to this time period. Sanjiu usually refers to the ninth day of November to the ninth day of December in the lunar calendar, that is, in the middle of winter. If the weather is cold during this time, then according to the proverb, the following first month (the first month of the lunar calendar) will be cold. Secondly, the first month refers to the first month of the lunar calendar, which is the time of the Spring Festival.

The proverb "March 9 is not cold, but the first month is cold" means that if it is cold during March 9, the weather will be cold during the Spring Festival. To sum up, according to the proverb "The ninth day is not cold, the ninth day is not cold, and the first month is cold", we can speculate that the Spring Festival in 2024 may be a relatively cold period. Specific weather conditions need to be combined with meteorological data and climate characteristics to make more accurate predictions.
