Today is July 17th! When I woke up in the morning, the sun was actually hidden, and the sky here was a little cloudy, not to mention how refreshing it felt! The lotus leaves by the lake also look particularly green, and when the wind blows, the lotus leaves are like dancing, as if they are nodding hello to us!
As soon as the weather was cool, this person's mood immediately improved, and he felt festive when he saw everything. You know, it's a rare thing to have such refreshing weather on these dog days! Maybe after a while the wind will blow the clouds away, and the sun will come out again. But I really hope that it will be so cloudy today, although the maximum temperature is still 35 degrees Celsius, but without the direct sun, we can feel a lot more relieved. Even if you go out for a walk and sweat, it's nothing, they all say "sweating and detoxifying are good", and after sweating, you still feel very comfortable.
Today is the third day of the ambush and the third day of the first ambush. Many people run to paste the three stickers on the day of the ambush, saying that they can prevent the discomfort in winter in the summer. There are also some people who have the custom of drying their backs on dog days, which is to expel the dampness and heat from the body. But this is not suitable for everyone, we have to come according to our own physical condition, and we can't blindly follow the trend. After all, the sun on these dog days is very poisonous, "the sun shines in the sky, and the skin is easy to sunburn".
Now that the dog days have officially begun, some places are too hot to be. For example, the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River and the vast areas in the south, such as Hubei, Jiangxi, Hunan, Guangzhou, Zhejiang, Fujian and other places, have now turned on the mode of heat and heat, and every day is hot and hot. This hot weather is all caused by the subtropical high pressure. This tropical high came from the ocean in the south, went all the way north along the southern coast of our country, and hovered in the air when it reached the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. It's like a thick wall, keeping the cold air of the north out.
No, there was super heavy rainfall in many places in the north, and the rain was very fierce, and it was all concentrated together, and it kept falling. Recently, the center of this rainstorm is in the eastern part of Henan, the southern part of Shandong, the northern part of Anhui and the northern part of Jiangsu, and the rain is terrifying, with torrential rains, heavy rains, and even extremely heavy rains in some places.
Look at the south again, in these dog days, every day is sunny, and you know that you call from morning to night, "know the call, the dog days are here, and the heat makes people's hearts irritable", which makes people feel very irritable, sweat more, and feel hotter. When the weather is hot, if you don't stay in a cool place, this person has no mind to do anything. "Dog days, impetuousness", this is the normal state of dog days, and everyone is reluctant to run out. Why? When I went out, not to mention the unbearably hot and uncomfortable, I would be sweating all over my body.
Therefore, at this time, what everyone is looking forward to most is to get through these dog days as soon as possible. It is our common wish to spend this day peacefully. We are looking forward to autumn coming soon, "the autumn is established, the fan is lost", as soon as autumn comes, the weather will be cooler, and we can live comfortably.
In these difficult dog days, we have to pay attention to heat stroke prevention and cooling, drink more water, and less activity under the sun. "The heart is calm and naturally cool", we must also be calm, don't let this hot day ruin our good mood. Looking forward to it, autumn will always come, and then we can enjoy the cool autumn breeze!
I've heard that some places still have the habit of drinking tea on dog days, saying that it can clear away heat and relieve heat. Some can cook mung bean soup and sour plum soup, which are all good ways to deal with dog days. Do you have any particular way to spend dog days?
01. When will autumn come?
We people are looking forward to autumn coming soon, but when will this autumn come? There are two common ways to say this.
1. From an astronomical point of view.
This statement takes the 24 solar terms as the standard, and takes the beginning of autumn as the time point of autumn. However, this method is a bit inconsistent with the actual weather conditions. Why? Think about it, after the beginning of autumn, it's often still in the dog days! As the old saying goes, "After autumn, the old cow dies of heat". This shows that there is still a tail waiting after autumn, can the end not be hot? Everyone knows it in their hearts. Even if you finally get through the dog days, you may still run into the autumn tiger. If this autumn tiger launches a threat, it will be more powerful than dog days, and we will continue to suffer and continue to be roasted by it.
2. It is mainly based on the actual weather.
Autumn has to be cool. Generally speaking, we have to wait until the average temperature is around 25 degrees Celsius before we can really feel the coolness of autumn. Judging from the actual weather conditions in our country, if you really want to enjoy the really cool autumn comfortably, it is estimated that you will have to wait until after the eleventh day.
Legend has it that the deity in charge of autumn is called Harvest. He has a snake coiled in his left ear and a big axe in his hand, and whenever autumn comes, he will swing the big axe to bring a good harvest and coolness to the world.
Don't say it, in different years, when the beginning of the autumn solar term comes, the feeling of temperature is really different. The ancestors summed up a lot of sayings, including "early autumn" and "late autumn". Just like the ancestors said, "wear a jacket in early autumn, and take a sauna in late autumn", what does this mean?
02, "Wear a jacket in early autumn, and sauna in late autumn"
The old words left by our ancestors are really every word, and every sentence is reasonable. Let's just say that "wear a jacket in early autumn and sauna in late autumn", in just a few words, it vividly depicts the unpredictable weather in autumn.
1. "Early Autumn Wear Jacket"
Speaking of this autumn solar term, it is an interesting time. If the beginning of autumn comes early, it is called early autumn, and it is also called autumn with eyes open. At this time, the weather is like a fickle little girl, who turns her face when she says it. One day, all of a sudden, the temperature will drop and catch you off guard. No, some people are still hanging out in short-sleeved shorts, and in the blink of an eye, they have to go home and rummage through the cabinets to find thick clothes. As the old saying goes, "an autumn rain and a cold", in this early autumn season, after a rain, it is really necessary to take out the padded jacket at the bottom of the box.
Of course, although the statement of wearing a padded jacket in early autumn is a bit exaggerated, it is not unreasonable. Especially in the north and southwest of our country, the weather changes faster than flipping through a book. It rained for several days in a row, and the temperature plummeted like a roller coaster. At this time, if you are still wearing short sleeves, it is really "beautiful and frozen". Therefore, the old people often say that "spring covers autumn frost", at this time it has to be reversed, and it is the king to quickly add clothes to keep warm.
2. "Late Autumn Sauna"
What if it's late autumn? It's a different story. Late autumn, also known as closed-eyes autumn, the weather at this time is like a big oven, so hot that people can't breathe. The sun was shining hot, and the heat on the ground was rising upward, as if it were about to roast a person. In this kind of weather, let alone wearing a padded jacket, even if you are wearing short-sleeved shorts, you feel that the heat is unbearable. At this time, people will remember the old saying, "Autumn tiger, poisonous as a tiger", this is not a joke.
03. Is this year early autumn or late autumn?
This is actually quite interesting. Our ancestors had a simple way to judge: if the beginning of autumn arrives before 12 noon, it is early autumn; If it's after 12 o'clock, it's late autumn. This year's beginning of autumn arrived at more than 8 o'clock in the morning, which is not a typical early autumn!
However, we have to understand that the statement of this early autumn and late autumn was summed up by the ancestors based on the experience at that time. Nowadays, the climatic conditions are different from the past, and there have been many changes, so this statement should be used as a reference.
As the old saying goes, "one autumn rain and one cold, ten autumn rains must wear cotton", whether it is early autumn or late autumn, the change of weather always has its rules. We just hope that the weather can be smooth, cool when it should be cold, hot when it should be hot, so that we can live comfortably.
Think about it again, when autumn comes, the trees are full of ripe fruits, and the golden ears of rice are heavy, how beautiful the scenery is! "Plant a grain of millet in spring, harvest 10,000 seeds in autumn", autumn is the harvest season. No matter whether the beginning of autumn is early or late, as long as there is a good harvest, we will be sure.
What do you think the weather will be like this early autumn this year? Is it really cooler, or is it unexpectedly hot? #记录夏日生活点滴#
