What does the summer resort mean?

The original meaning of "out" is "stop" and "stay", and now it means termination.

"Summer heat" means that the unbearable hot weather has come to an end and the summer heat has begun to fade. "Three summers" and "three days" both represent hot and humid weather, and the curves on the time axis and the temperature axis are basically the same: summer is coming, summer is coming; When the sky falls, summer is over.

In summer, that is, "out of summer", the high temperature will gradually withdraw. After the summer, the direct point of the sun continued to move southward, the solar radiation weakened, and the subtropical high retreated southward. As the height of the sun decreases, the heat it brings also decreases. The arrival of summer means that the hot and difficult weather is over. During this period, the weather is still hot, but it has shown a downward trend. The disappearance of summer heat is a slow process. It doesn't mean that it gets cold immediately after the heat drops in summer. Generally, coolness will begin after the Millennium.
