Summer or beginning of autumn?

Early autumn is hotter than summer. Although beginning of autumn is a solar term in autumn, the temperature will not be lower than that in summer and autumn, but it will be higher.

In the heat, heat is heat, and heat is heat. The summer heat is the last solar term in summer, around midsummer. Most parts of the country have entered the hottest period of the year, and high temperature weather of 40℃ often occurs, with little temperature difference across the country.

During the hot summer, it happens to be the weather with the most sunshine and the highest temperature in the whole year. At this time, most areas are dry and rainy, especially in southern China, and there may even be a summer drought.

Beginning of autumn's "stand" means the beginning, and "autumn" refers to the maturity of crops. Beginning of autumn means that summer will cool down and autumn will begin. But beginning of autumn doesn't mean that autumn has really come, because beginning of autumn is in the dog days. After the whole dog days, there are a lot of people on the surface, keeping the temperature at a relatively high state.

The period when the temperature continued to be hot after beginning of autumn was called "autumn tiger", and there was also a folk saying that "the old cow fell dead after autumn", which was enough to explain the degree of heat after beginning of autumn. In addition, with global warming, the temperature rises year by year, which will make the temperature after beginning of autumn much higher than the high temperature in summer.
