In which solar term does the autumn tiger appear?

Autumn tigers belong to autumn after they come out in the dog days, usually between August and September. The weather of autumn tiger is characterized by cool in the morning and evening and high temperature exposure in the afternoon.

Autumn tigers in South China come later than those in the Yangtze River valley, and are generally delayed by 2-4 solar terms. In addition, the prevention and control time of autumn tigers is long and short every year, ranging from half a month to two months; Sometimes the autumn tiger comes and goes, and then goes back. "Autumn Tiger" weather, although the temperature is high, but on the whole the air is dry and sunny, and it is not very hot in the morning and evening, so it is still different from the dog days.

For the south, even after summer, it is still summer, and most areas in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River enter autumn around the National Day. Therefore, strictly speaking, "autumn tiger" should still be "summer tiger".
