China Weather Network News Starting today (August 7), my country has entered the Liqiu solar term, which is the first solar term in autumn, which means that summer will come to autumn.

For most of our country, the beginning of autumn does not mean the beginning of autumn, the heat of midsummer has not yet faded, and the meaning of autumn has not appeared.

China Weather Network combs through the big meteorological data and finds that Liqiu is still a period when typhoons are active, and specially launched a list of typhoon "check-in places" during Liqiu all year round to see where typhoons are most active.

The beginning of autumn is not the same as the beginning of autumn, the cool wind in the north gradually reaches the south and the high temperature is still prevailing

  The beginning of the autumn equinox is three times, the first is the cool breeze, the second is the white dew, and the third is the chirping of cicadas.

At this time, the most direct feeling of people is "cool wind arrives".

The Song Dynasty poet Liu Han wrote in "Liqiu" that "crows sing and the jade screen is empty, a pillow is refreshing and a wind is blowing", which vividly expresses the characteristics of the beginning of autumn when the weather turns cooler.

  China Weather Network found that the beginning of autumn is a transitional solar term from hot to cold, and the national average temperature began to gradually increase to decrease.

It can be seen from the evolution map of the average temperature of each solar term in my country's summer and autumn that the temperature rises all the way from the beginning of summer to the great heat, the great heat reaches its peak, and the great heat reaches its peak. To the level before the summer solstice, after that, much of the country is getting cooler.

  However, the beginning of autumn is not the same as the beginning of autumn. The beginning of autumn is the solar term that comes with the tail of Sanfu, and the heat is still there.

Zhang Juan, a meteorological analyst at China Weather Network, said that during the beginning of autumn, only some areas in the northwest and northeast have switched to summer and autumn, while most other areas are still in summer, especially in the south, where high temperatures are still high.

Statistics show that the number of high-temperature days in Jiangnan, South China, and Sichuan and Chongqing during the beginning of autumn is more than 4 days, and some areas in Chongqing, Jiangxi, Fujian, Zhejiang, Hubei and other places can reach more than 7 days.

The "wind" of the beginning of autumn is not only a typhoon, but it prefers to "check in" in Guangdong, Taiwan and other places

  The beginning of autumn is the month of August, which is also the time of year when typhoons are active.

ChinaWeather.com has checked the typhoon data from 1949 to 2021 and found that the time for typhoons to land in my country is mainly concentrated in the solar terms from Xiaoshu to Bailu, of which Xiaoshu has the most, reaching 60, and Liqiu ranks second with 59.

  From the perspective of the landing area, among the typhoons that landed in my country during the Liqiu solar term in the past 73 years, 19 "landed" in Guangdong, 12 landed in Zhejiang, and 10 and 9 landed in Taiwan and Hainan respectively. The proportion of these four provinces is as high as 84.7%.

  Zhang Juan introduced that not only many typhoons landed in the beginning of autumn, but also the intensity is not weak, more than 50% of which are typhoons and above.

For example, the No. 10 typhoon "Bliss" in 2000, the No. 8 typhoon "Sangmei" in 2006, and the No. 9 typhoon "Likima" in 2019 all landed in my country as super typhoons during the Liqiu period.

Residents in southern China and southeast coastal areas are reminded not to be careless during the beginning of autumn and pay attention to typhoon prevention work.

Pay more attention to scientific "biting autumn" and "sticking autumn fat"

  The beginning of autumn is not only an important solar term, but also an important annual festival in our country.

There are folk customs such as "sticking autumn fat", "biting autumn" and drying autumn.

  In ancient times, people would weigh their weight on the beginning of autumn and compare their weight with that of the beginning of summer. At that time, people were not rich, and the hot summer made people not thinking about tea and rice, and most people who experienced "bitter summer" would lose weight. , so there is a saying of "sticking to autumn fat".

During the beginning of autumn, people will eat stewed meat, barbecued meat, and braised pork to "stick meat to fat".

  In many parts of our country, "biting the autumn" is still popular. It is believed that eating melons at the beginning of autumn can avoid diarrhea in winter and spring.

There is such a record in Zhang Tao's "Jinmen Miscellaneous Notes: The Customs of the Years" in the Qing Dynasty: "Eating melons at the beginning of the autumn is said to bite the autumn, and diarrhea can be avoided."

Eating watermelon, cantaloupe or peaches on the day of the Beginning of Autumn also means gnawing away the heat.

  In Hunan, Guangxi, Anhui, Jiangxi and other places, there is a custom of "sunbathing in autumn". Villagers living in mountainous areas, due to the complex terrain and very little flat land in the village, have to use the front and rear of the house and their own windowsill roofs to dry and hang crops. Over time, it has evolved into a traditional agricultural phenomenon, which also expresses the joy of a bumper harvest.

  ChinaWeather.com reminds everyone that the temperature is still high during the beginning of autumn, and food is easily spoiled. When "biting autumn" and "sticking autumn fat", pay attention to choosing fresh food, and at the same time eat more food that is moisturizing and nourishing, and eat less spicy, fried food Fried food, protect intestinal mucosa and intestinal function.
