What does the summer solar term mean?

Summer is the eleventh of the twenty-four solar terms, at the end of the afternoon and the beginning of the month.

The sun reaches longitude 105 degrees, and the festival is held on July 6-8 of the Gregorian calendar every year. Summer means hot, a little hot, not very hot. It's getting hotter, but it's not the hottest. Although light summer is not the hottest season in a year, it is followed by the hottest solar term in a year. There is a folk saying that "it is hot in summer and hot in summer, and it is steamed and cooked". Many places in China have entered the season with the most thunderstorms since summer.

Meteorological change

The heat began to enter the dog days, and the air humidity increased after entering the dog days. The reason for the high humidity in dog days is that the southeast wind blows in dog days, while the southeast direction is the Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean. The air is humid, and the humidity of the sea breeze causes the high humidity in the dog days. In dog days, "high temperature and high humidity" is the climate characteristic in the south of China, while "high temperature and dryness" occurs in the north.

It's a little hot in the summer, not very hot. It's the hottest time of the year in the summer. In the shallow summer, there will be no cool breeze on the earth, and there will be heat waves in the wind. The southern part of China has also entered the season with the most thunderstorms, often accompanied by strong winds and heavy rains.
