Meteorological changes of slight cold;

The weather of slight cold is characterized by getting colder and colder, but it is not cold yet. In the slight cold season, the direct point of the sun is still in the southern hemisphere, and the heat in the northern hemisphere is still in a state of loss. The heat absorbed during the day is still less than the heat released at night, so the temperature in the northern hemisphere continues to decrease. According to China's long-term meteorological records, the slight cold solar terms in the northern region are colder than the severe cold solar terms; But for most parts of the south, the big cold solar terms are colder than the small ones.

During the slight cold solar term, the East Asian trough developed the strongest and most stable, the Mongolian cold high and Aleutian low also reached the strongest and most stable, and the ridge scale of the westerly trough reached the maximum, which matched the strongest westerly intensity. The cooling process of cold air is frequent in the slight cold season, but few of them reach the cold wave standard.

There is a saying in northern China that "slight cold is better than severe cold, which is common but not rare", meaning that the solar terms of slight cold are colder than those of severe cold, which is nothing unusual. Slight cold usually occurs from February 9th to March 9th, which is the coldest time of the year in northern China. After the slight cold, the temperature of heavy cold rose slightly. The coldest days in southern China are April and September, which is colder than March and September. In April and September, it was the great cold solar term, and the great cold in the southern region was colder than the slight cold.
