Extended data

The arrival of winter solstice solar terms marks the beginning of winter. On this day, although the northern hemisphere received the least solar radiation, it was about 50% less than the southern hemisphere. However, this is not the coldest time, so-called "March 9, April 9 cold." This is because there is atmosphere and water on the surface of the earth, which can store heat, not "save or lose" but "accumulate heat"

Therefore, the weather is usually not very cold before the winter solstice. From winter to the future, although the solar altitude angle gradually increases, it is a slow recovery process, and the heat lost every day is still greater than the heat received, showing a situation of "making ends meet".

On the day of "March 9 and April 9", the accumulated heat is the least, the temperature is the lowest, and the weather is getting colder and colder. If there is the influence of cold air at this time, the weather will be even colder. After this "cold front", the weather will gradually get warmer.
