Is it warm or cold in early winter this year?

The early winter of this year is a warm winter.

After beginning of winter, the cold air in the northern area will gradually increase and the weather will get colder, so the appearance of the north wind is very common. China has a vast territory, and the climate between different regions is quite different, so the time when the "north wind" appears will be different. In some places, there may be a situation of "the north wind is snowy in early winter". If the north wind blows in beginning of winter that day, it will be even colder after winter.

"There is no rain and snow in the south wind of beginning of winter" means that the weather is warmer, which is often called "warm winter". Warm winter often means warm and dry winter, because the temperature is high and there is plenty of sunshine. In the south, the temperature in early winter may not change much, but in the north, people usually take "beginning of winter" as the beginning of winter.

The Historical Origin of beginning of winter

Beginning of winter is the first solar term in winter, representing the beginning of winter. It's early March in winter. Beginning of winter, beginning of spring, Changsha and beginning of autumn are collectively called "Li Si". Spring planting in Xia Yun, autumn harvest in winter storage, all things germinate in spring, grow in summer, harvest in autumn and rest in winter. Beginning of winter means that life begins to close, everything enters a state of recuperation, and plants wither.

As for the division time of the four seasons, China traditionally takes "Li Si" (beginning of spring, Changchun, beginning of autumn and beginning of winter) among the "24 solar terms" as the beginning of the four seasons, and "Bi Fen" (vernal equinox and autumnal equinox) and "Two Fingers" (summer solstice and winter solstice) as the midpoint of the four seasons, which has obvious astronomical significance.
