The solstice in winter is at the end of the month, while the severe cold is in February. Will it be cold on New Year's Day in 2020?

It will get cold. If the winter solstice is on the last day of this month, it must be very cold this month, and if the great cold is in February, it is estimated that it will be very cold this year, so New Year's Day should be even colder.

In fact, these are some popular sayings in rural areas, which are slowly passed down from generation to generation. It makes sense, it doesn't make sense, but it makes sense. But don't believe these proverbs completely. Because it has no strong scientific basis. So it makes sense, but you can't believe it completely. After all, this is just some social experience of the elderly, and there is no certain scientific basis.

The first sentence is that the solstice in winter is at the end of the month, which is actually easy to understand. You can see its true meaning from the literal meaning. If the winter solstice falls at the end of the lunar calendar 1 1, then the cold solar term of this winter may also fall in the first month. Then even before the Chinese New Year, the weather is not particularly cold, but it may become very cold after the Chinese New Year. Although many farmers don't want to see this situation, because for farmers, when the New Year comes, everyone must visit relatives and friends, hoping that the weather will be warmer.

For farmers, crops are also the most important. If the weather is very cold during the Spring Festival, it will be very bad for crops. So they all think that the weather will get cold after the New Year, which is very bad for crops. Moreover, if the winter solstice is at the end of the month and the cold is in February, it will definitely be cold during New Year's Day, because every year New Year's Day is 65438+ 1, and there is little difference between New Year's Day and New Year's Eve in 2020, so it is more likely to be cold on New Year's Day.

In fact, these are all experiences summed up by the older generation. There is some truth in saying that it is experience, but if you refer to it all, there is no scientific basis. So we just use it as a reference.
