Autumn Equinox

According to the lunar calendar, "beginning of autumn" is the beginning of autumn and ends with "the first frost". The "vernal equinox" is exactly half of the 90 days from beginning of autumn to the first frost. Since the autumnal equinox, the climate has three main characteristics: the position of direct sunlight continues to move from the equator to the southern hemisphere, and the phenomenon that the days are shorter and the nights are longer in the northern hemisphere will become more and more obvious.

The days get shorter and the nights get longer; The temperature difference between day and night gradually increases. The situation in the southern hemisphere is just the opposite. After the autumnal equinox, the direct sunlight moves south, the days in the northern hemisphere become shorter, the nights become longer, and the temperature drops, which is of universal significance throughout the country. At the autumnal equinox, China's Yangtze River basin and its vast areas to the north successively entered the autumn divided by "climatic average temperature", and the daily average temperature dropped below 22℃.
