Long summer ≠ Summer! Why have Wangcang and Cangxi entered the summer according to the standard?

According to meteorological standards, Wangcang and Cangxi are considered to have entered the summer because the temperature has reached or exceeded 35 degrees Celsius for several days, and other summer climate characteristics have been clearly manifested.

Long summer and entering summer are two solar terms related to summer among the 24 solar terms. Long summer refers to the day in long summer, which means that the temperature rises gradually, the weather gets warmer gradually, and plants begin to grow sturdily. And entering the summer refers to the real long summer after the long summer, usually before and after the solar terms in the summer heat.

According to the standards issued by China Meteorological Bureau, the time of summer may be different in each region. In Wangcang and Cangxi, although far away from the equator of the earth, due to the influence of topography, climate and other factors, after a long summer, the local temperature reached 35 degrees and above for several days, showing summer characteristics such as high temperature and drought, so it has entered the summer according to the standard.

Solar terms are a concept of the lunar calendar, not an integer day in the solar calendar, so the specific date of the solar calendar will be slightly different every year. Usually, in most parts of China, the long summer lasts around May 5 (May 4 or May 6) in the solar calendar, and the summer is around June 5 (June 5 or June 6) in the solar calendar.

In addition to temperature, weather and other factors, summer can also be divided according to the needs of agricultural activities. Due to the hot weather after summer, crops need to take corresponding agricultural measures, such as watering and fertilization, to ensure the normal growth of crops. In addition, entering summer also marks the official start of summer, and many festivals and folk activities related to summer are also launched at the same time.

Long summer and midsummer are both important solar terms that conform to the laws of nature and are of great significance to people's lives and agricultural production. The climate conditions and characteristics in different regions are different, so the summer time in different places is different. If you have more questions about meteorology, it is recommended to consult the local meteorological department or professionals.

According to the definition of China Meteorological Bureau, the standard of entering summer is that the average daily temperature in a certain place reaches 25 degrees Celsius for five consecutive days, of which 3 days reach or exceed 30 degrees Celsius. The time to enter summer is judged according to local meteorological conditions and standards, so the specific time may be different in different regions. This also reminds us to pay attention to the weather and weather forecast, understand the local climate, and take corresponding protective measures to ensure the safety of life and work.

In Wangcang and Cangxi, due to the influence of high temperature, drought and geographical location, the temperature is higher than other areas. Therefore, according to meteorological standards, the local temperature has greatly exceeded the standard line of entering summer, which has obvious summer characteristics. This situation is also recorded in airports, meteorological bureaus and other places, and published according to standards.
