Ladies and gentlemen, summer is getting closer and closer, and we are about to usher in the hottest dog days of the year. As the saying goes, "if the dog days are not hot, it depends on the summer solstice festival", this year's summer solstice has passed, so when will we officially enter the ambush? Don't worry, the answer will be revealed!
Forecast map of the maximum temperature on June 21 (summer solstice).
Tomorrow is June 21, and the high temperature area in the north has begun to shrink, mainly concentrated in Shijiazhuang, Tianjin, Jinan, etc. However, the high temperature in Xinjiang is even more intense, the temperature in many places exceeds 35 °C, and some places will even soar to about 40 °C, which is really unbearable!
Looking at the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, the high temperature weather is getting more and more serious, and the high temperature range has expanded to the north. In many places, the temperature will exceed 32°C, and ah, you will feel even hotter when you walk on the road, because the temperature will be so much higher than the actual temperature. This weather is really "hot to death"!
First, the summer solstice has arrived, and the dog days are not far away
Let's talk about the summer solstice first. The summer solstice is the day when the sun goes to the northernmost point in the sky, which is the extreme of the sun's northward journey. From this day on, although the days are still longer than the night, the nights are gradually lengthening, and this is the beginning of the first birth of a cloud. However, the sun is just over 90 degrees, and its southward speed is very slow, so the speed of the day getting shorter is also slow, and it is only a minute or two less every day.
But this summer, it's so hot that it's not covered! Why? Because the earth absorbs much more heat than it consumes at night from the summer solstice to the white dew, the temperature soars. We have an old saying, "But the summer solstice is not hot, but the winter solstice is not cold", which is what we say.
Second, the summer solstice is in ambush, when will it be ambushed this year?
Okay, let's get back to business. Everyone knows the saying "summer solstice three geng into ambush", right? That is to say, the third Geng day after the summer solstice is the day when we go into ambush. So what is this Gengri? To put it simply, it is the "Geng" in the sexagenary branch.
This year, the tenth day of the sixth month of our lunar calendar is the third Gengchen day after the summer solstice, that is, the Gengchen day of the new month, this day is the beginning of our ambush! It's hot to think about, but it's not over yet, the middle and end are still waiting for us.
3. Super long standby, two medium volts are waiting for you to challenge
Speaking of Nakafushi, it's the hottest time of the year. This year, our mid-volt is a super long standby, and there are two mid-volts! June 20 Gengyin day, is the beginning of the first volt, and then the first day of the seventh month Gengzi day, although it has arrived at the beginning of autumn, but because it is still before the beginning of autumn, it is still counted in the middle of the volt, which is called the leap volt.
Wait until the 11th day of July Gengxu, which is the first Geng day after the beginning of autumn, and it is also the beginning of the end of the year. Wait until July 21 Gengshen Day, and we will officially come out! Counting the days, this year's dog days are a full forty days, and it's really hot and breathless.
Fourth, how does the weather change?
Speaking of the summer here, it is an important solar term. As the name suggests, it means "the heat ends here". However, this year's summer is in the dog days, that is, "the summer is not out of the summer". This weather is really unpredictable.
As the old saying goes, "If you don't get out of the summer, it must be a disaster year", this is not a joke. If the heat does not come out, it means that the heat has not completely dissipated, and the weather is still hot. This kind of weather is easy to make people sick, like malaria and heat stroke, you have to be careful to prevent it.
5. How to deal with this dog day of ultra-long standby?
In the face of this dog days with a long standby, we have to be prepared. First of all, you have to pay attention to heat stroke prevention and cooling, drink more water, go out less, and stay in air-conditioned rooms more. Secondly, you have to pay attention to food hygiene, don't eat too much raw and cold things, so as not to have diarrhea. Finally, you have to pay attention to exercising, don't stay at home and don't move, that body can't stand it.
