When is it hot this summer?

The date of the great summer heat is generally between July 6 and July 8 of the Gregorian calendar, and the specific date depends on the summer solstice time of each year. According to the calculation formula of solar terms, the date of midsummer can be calculated by some specific algorithms. First, determine the time of summer solstice. Then calculate the time difference from summer solstice to summer heat, and determine the date of summer heat (in days) according to the time difference. The date of summer heat can also be determined by astronomical observation, but this method is complicated and requires professional astronomical knowledge and instruments.

The summer solar term means that the hot summer officially begins, but it has not yet reached the hottest time of the year, which is called midsummer. 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".

The significance of light summer heat

Although it is only one of the 24 solar terms, it plays an important role in the rural culture of China. In summer, people should pay attention to the adjustment of health care and diet to adapt to the high temperature weather. At the same time, summer is also an important season for farmers to harvest and sow in summer. We need to seize the opportunity at that time and carry out farm work in time to ensure a bumper harvest.

Slight summer heat also has a certain effect on feng shui numerology. According to the traditional geomantic omen, the hot summer is the season when the yang gradually turns stronger, which is not only a natural change, but also an impact on people's living conditions and family undertakings. Therefore, people should pay attention to adjusting their lifestyle and strive for the best fortune.
