The weather can't catch up with the solar terms.

This year's slight cold is unusual. The slight cold at the end froze the old cow to death. The Spring Festival in 2024 may be very cold.

There is a folk saying in China that the old cow freezes to death at the end of slight cold, which means slight cold solar terms. If the weather is too cold, even the cold-resistant old cow may freeze to death. This shows the degree of cold weather during the slight cold solar terms. Just after the Spring Festival in 2024, there may be very cold weather.

Slight cold is the 23rd solar term in the twenty-four solar terms of China lunar calendar and the 5th solar term in winter, usually on the 5th or 6th day of 65438+ 10 every year. The arrival of the slight cold solar term means that most parts of China will enter the coldest period of the year. At this time, the northern region is already a world of ice and snow, and there will be obvious cooling in the southern region. Therefore, there is a folk saying that a slight cold and a severe cold have turned into ice hockey.

According to the lunar calendar, the Spring Festival in 2024 will come soon after the slight cold solar term. If the weather is very cold during the slight cold season, it may be very cold during the Spring Festival. This is undoubtedly a challenge for those who are used to the warm Spring Festival. They need to be fully prepared for the cold to cope with the possible cold weather.

Slight cold at the end:

1, the temperature drops obviously: the slight cold solar term marks the beginning of the coldest period of the year, especially in the northern region, when the direct point of the sun is located in the southern hemisphere, and the northern hemisphere receives less heat. The heat stored on the surface is continuously lost, which leads to a gradual decrease in temperature, and may even lead to a cumulative decrease of more than 10℃.

2. Frequent cold air activities: During the slight cold, the East Asian upper-air weather systems such as Mongolian cold high pressure and Aleutian low pressure developed to the most powerful and stable state, which made cold air frequently go south, affecting most parts of China, resulting in frequent cooling processes. Although the cold air meeting the cold wave standard is not common, the temperature drops frequently and the weather is cold and dry.

3. From winter to the future, the climate features are outstanding: from the beginning of slight cold to the coldest stage in February or March, there is a folk saying that slight cold is better than great cold, indicating that the cold in slight cold season sometimes even exceeds great cold. At this time, it is generally snowy in northern China. Although it is not extremely cold in the south, frost and freezing are also common. The lowest temperature in northern South China may approach MINUS 5℃.
