Climatic characteristics of the autumnal equinox

1, into the fall, the northern cold air continues to invade, but the force is not very strong, often in the north of China to form the autumn high weather, West China is often the appearance of a continuous autumn rain. Temperatures in the fall will gradually decline, but generally slower than in winter. Due to the differences in wet and dry conditions, different regions may experience cold and rainy, or dry and cool weather conditions.

2. In the colder late fall, due to the large temperature difference between day and night, water vapor that evaporates during the day condenses at night, either as dew or frost. The point of direct sunlight gradually moves southward from the northern hemisphere in the fall, crossing the equator after the autumnal equinox, with the sun shining directly on the southern hemisphere. From the Northern Hemisphere, the angle of the sun gradually becomes lower, and the difference between day and night becomes smaller. The day and night are equal in length at the autumnal equinox.
