The beginning of autumn in 2024 is suddenly on August 7th, so fast, this year's time seems to fly a little faster, as time passes, the heat and sultry weather in August seem to have intensified a lot, and the air flow of the tropical storm has also come in for a while.
This makes people feel that the autumn atmosphere after the beginning of autumn is unprecedentedly depressed and troubled, and this day responds to the clarion call of the beginning of autumn, and really feels the last heat of summer.
In previous years, it was hot, but last year and this year's heat is also getting hotter, maybe because we are in the summer of autumn!
At the beginning of autumn, as a folk proverb: "You can't be cold at the beginning of autumn" has been handed down, indicating that after the beginning of autumn, the weather will gradually become colder, and the heat of summer will soon be replaced by the coolness of autumn.
But in recent years, as the temperature of the earth has risen day by day, some old folk songs seem to have been left behind, and after the beginning of autumn, almost all summer vacation mode is still the same, all night long, blowing air conditioning, and the autumn wind is completely forgotten.
Six characteristics of the beginning of autumn.
The beginning of autumn is the thirteenth of the 24 solar terms, and the two days of August 7 or August 8 every year represent the arrival of the beginning of autumn.
At 7:23 a.m., the sun is aligned with the earth, and at this time, many people are looking forward to the cool time after the heat, but generally speaking, after the beginning of autumn, it means that the hot weather will soon pass, but it remains in people's memories of the stuffy heat, because the summer is about to leave, but the feeling of sultry will not disappear for a short time.
In previous years, the beginning of autumn was mostly on August 7, and it was more likely to be early in autumn, but this year it will become a late beginning of autumn due to leap years, and it will be opened for an extra hour until 7:23 p.m.
Although the beginning of autumn does not last for 41 days like the beginning of summer, it does not mean that the hot weather is about to pass, because there will be a "heat" solar term after the beginning of autumn, which means that there are still more than 40 days to spend the heat.
Therefore, I still want to remind everyone that after the beginning of autumn does not mean that the summer has completely passed, there are still three dog days to experience, there is no "dog days", after the beginning of autumn, the heat will disappear, which is the biggest threat to health.
The heat after the beginning of autumn will cause everyone to be irritable and even catch a cold, so it is even more important to continue to stay healthy while preventing heatstroke, and some cold medicines should also be saved.
The characteristics after the beginning of autumn are: late beginning of autumn, as well as mother autumn, open eyes autumn, golden autumn, autumn wrapping and undressing autumn.
The first point is "late Autumn", this year's Beginning of Autumn is already an hour late, compared to the previous Beginning of Autumn, this year's Beginning of Autumn came later, one more hour, which means that this year's hot time will last for a few more hours.
The second point is "Mother Autumn", I don't need to say much about mothers, mothers are nurturing life, and today's mothers are falling leaves, it is mysterious and amorous.
"Mother Autumn, Falling Leaves" is a good expression of the characteristics of autumn.
The third point is "open eyes autumn", until this time, the breath of autumn will gradually appear, before that, autumn is still hiding in the arms of summer, waiting to wake up is autumn.
The fourth point is the "golden autumn", generally speaking, there will be no obvious changes in the 40 days after this day, and in previous years, the time of autumn has gradually increased with the passage of time.
In previous years, there were 51 days in the autumn, and this year it was only 47 days, which was less time, which is still not counting the "summer tiger" and its terrible impact, it is equivalent to missing half the autumn, and this is still not when there is no "summer tiger", if there is more terrible.
The fifth point is "autumn baofu", 46 days of time means a later time to enter the house, the scorching August weather, not only did not get cooler, but more hot, so we should pay more attention to heat prevention, because the "autumn tiger" is as hot.
The last point is "undressing autumn", because the feeling of stuffiness has not dissipated from our body, so people may get hot when it is cool, and getting sick is on the one hand, on the other hand, it is an infectious disease, so a moment of coolness makes us lose our disease-free.
Temperature changes in autumn.
The reason why there will be such a hot weather in the few solar terms after the beginning of autumn is because after the beginning of autumn, the sky is not cool, but there is still a scorching summer, so there will be an "autumn tiger" at this time.
Generally speaking, autumn in the north and northeast is colder, so there is no "autumn tiger" and no hot weather.
Relatively speaking, the southern region is more common in both hot weather and "autumn tigers", because the northern region is affected by the temperate continental climate, and the cold and hot are sometimes obvious at the same time, so the natural can not be reduced, relatively speaking, the southern region belongs to the subtropical monsoon climate, and its natural reduction is greater, so the heat is more likely to be restricted.
But even so, today's autumn is not the autumn of the golden breeze in memory, the scorching sun falls from the sky, and people can't help but sigh that the "national air conditioning" of the "global village" is the same, but also brings great convenience to life, but also brings another greater trouble to life.
This also makes people's feelings about autumn more and more influential, and even many young children have a vague or even unaware of the four seasons in China, and have only heard about it in some Lao She's works or other folk tales.
But as a Chinese, autumn is of course to be recognized, not only some changes in solar terms, but also diet, and a series of things such as keeping warm.
In autumn, eating eggs is the most common food for breakfast, and eggs are also known as "cold medicine", and drinking white rice porridge is also a common routine of the older generation in autumn.
Therefore, it is necessary to eat a hot meal at night, which can keep the body warm, prevent the occurrence of diseases such as decreased resistance, colds, etc., and at the same time replenish energy and store it for the body.
For sedentary people, the older they are, the more likely the joints are to stiffen, at this time it is necessary to exercise appropriately to maintain the joints, walking is also a common exercise method for the elderly, and it is also a very healthy exercise method to walk 10,000 steps a day.
Another point is to keep warm, although after the beginning of autumn, the temperature has dropped, but it will still be cooler at night, so in terms of living supplies, you must pay attention to adding more quilts.
But you must know how to grasp the scale, the big quilt for the winter still does not need to be used now, after all, the current temperature is still 40 °C, with such a cotton quilt, it must be very hot, you can use some thinner quilts, or blankets, etc.
In addition, it is also necessary to ensure air circulation before going to bed to ensure good sleep quality and the appropriate temperature in the room.
