What are the characteristics of autumn?

Autumn has three characteristics: dry, cold and ripe fruit season. First of all, dry weather is a necessary process in autumn, and there is more rain in summer. After changing seasons, the precipitation is obviously reduced, and the air humidity is much lower than that in summer. Viral activity is enhanced in dry environment. In addition, the wind is generally strong in autumn. With the autumn wind blowing, the virus is naturally inhaled into the body through breathing, resulting in diseases.

Autumn is the harvest season, and the fruits of 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, withering and dying.
