Is the summer heat the coldest or hottest time?

Summer is neither coldest nor hottest! Summer heat means that the summer heat gradually decreases and the weather gets cold. This solar term usually falls on August 23rd or 24th every year. "Chu" means termination, which means that the summer heat is about to pass, the summer heat will end on this day, and the temperature in most parts of China will gradually drop.

I hope my answer can help you!
