Which season does the summer solar term usually start from?

Summer solar terms generally begin in autumn.

Summer, also known as "summer", is the end of summer and the beginning of autumn. This solar term is on August 23rd every year. When the summer heat gradually subsided, the autumn wind began to blow gently. On this day, the heat of summer officially bid farewell and people began to welcome the coolness of autumn. Summer belongs to autumn. Summer is the fourteenth solar term among the twenty-four solar terms and the second solar term in autumn. The summer time is usually between August 22nd and August 24th in Gregorian calendar, when the solar calendar reaches 150.

Summer heat means that summer is coming to an end, which indicates that the weather is getting cold. After the summer solar term, the direct point of the sun continued to move southward, the solar radiation weakened, the subtropical high retreated southward, and the summer heat gradually disappeared. At the same time, thunderstorm activity is not as active as summer, and the general trend of heavy rain in all parts of the country is weakened.

What is the temperature in summer?

The average temperature in summer is generally about 65438 0.5℃ lower than that in early autumn. In late August of some years, the average daily temperature in western South China may be lower than 23℃ for more than three consecutive days, which will affect the flowering of hybrid rice. In summer, only the northeast and northwest regions really enter autumn, and autumn will gradually expand to the central and southern regions. Generally, only a few places in South China can really enter autumn.

After the summer solstice solar terms, although the subtropical high strode south, it would never give up its dominant position easily and easily retreat into the sea of the western Pacific. In the southern areas under its control, it is often late summer, and hot weather is felt again. This is the short-term regenerative weather "autumn tiger". The duration of autumn tigers varies from year to year, usually lasting from half a month to two months.
