What is late autumn, generally referring to the lunar month?

Entering autumn means that rainfall and storms tend to decrease or decrease, and everything in nature begins to mature from lush.

Extended data

Autumn is one of the four seasons. In terms of climate, autumn in north temperate zone is from August 23rd (summer) to165438+1October 20th (light snow). Autumn in the south temperate zone is from February 19 (rain in the northern hemisphere) to May 2 1 (xiaoman in the northern hemisphere). The most obvious change in autumn lies in trees. The city began to clean up a lot of fallen leaves, and many tourists went to the mountains to watch maple trees.

Autumn is the harvest season, and many plants mature in autumn. In the subtropical region of the northern hemisphere, the temperature in autumn is obviously lower than that in summer. As the temperature drops, the leaves of many deciduous perennial plants will gradually change color, wither and fall off, leaving only branches for winter. Panicum miliaceum will come to the end of his life, wither and die.
