Characteristics of light snow solar terms

Light snow is the twentieth solar term among the twenty-four solar terms and the second solar term in winter. The time is Gregorian calendar1October 22 or 23, when the sun reaches 240 degrees of the yellow longitude. Light snow is a solar term reflecting precipitation and temperature, and it is a solar term with high frequency of cold wave and strong cold air activity. The arrival of the light snow solar term means that the weather is getting colder and colder and the precipitation is gradually increasing.

This solar term is called light snow because "snow" is the product of cold weather. During this solar term, the climate is not deep and the precipitation is not great, so "light snow" is used to compare the climate characteristics during this solar term. "Light snow" is a metaphor, which reflects the active cold current and increased precipitation in this solar term, rather than the light snow under this solar term.

During the light snow solar term, a relatively stable meridional circulation has been established in East Asia, and low pressure or trough often appears in Siberia. When moving eastward, there will be a large-scale cold air heading south, and there will be a large-scale gale and cooling weather in the southeast of China.
