What is the next solar term after the Start of Autumn?
The next solar term after the Start of Autumn is the End of Heat;The End of Heat means "leaving the heat," indicating the end of the hot weather. It is the 14th of the 24 solar terms in the lunar calendar, occurring on August 23 in the Gregorian calendar, when the sun reaches 150° of ecliptic longitude. The End of Heat signifies the approach of the meteorological autumn, and after the End of Heat, the temperature gradually decreases in the areas north of the Yellow River in China.
The character "Chu" (处) contains meanings of hiding and ending, and "End of Heat" indicates that the hot summer days have ended. According to the "Compendium of the Seven-Twenty-Hour Phenomena of the Month": "Chu means to leave, and the heat will stop here." "Chu" is the meaning of an end, indicating that the hot weather is about to pass, and the heat will end on this day. In most parts of China, the temperature begins to gradually decrease after the End of Heat. The End of Heat is different from the small heat, great heat, as well as from the minor cold and major cold, and it represents the transition period from hot to cold temperatures.
Will it still be hot after the Start of Autumn?
Yes, it may still be hot after the Start of Autumn, and there might be a "Summer Tiger";Autumn is a transitional season between summer and winter. After the Start of Autumn, the season enters autumn. With the southward movement of the sun's direct rays, the daytime becomes shorter, and the number of daylight hours gradually decreases, reducing the light and heat given to the Northern Hemisphere day by day. Weakening solar radiation causes the ground to receive less heat during the day. Meanwhile, longer nights mean that the heat radiated from the surface into space increases. Because the heat absorbed by the ground gradually becomes less than the heat lost, the temperature starts to show a trend of decreasing from high to low.
However, after the Start of Autumn, there may be a "Summer Tiger". In meteorology, the "Summer Tiger" refers to a short-term return of heat after the end of the three dog days. It usually occurs between August and September. Its weather characteristics are cool mornings and evenings, and high-temperature sunshine in the afternoon.
Due to China's vast territory, the manifestation of the "Summer Tiger" varies slightly. For example, the "Summer Tiger" in South China appears later than in the Yangtze River Basin, generally delayed by 2-4 solar terms. Additionally, the duration of the "Summer Tiger" each year varies, ranging from half a month to two months. Sometimes the "Summer Tiger" comes and goes, and then returns again. Although the "Summer Tiger" weather is relatively hot, the air is generally dry, with plenty of sunlight, and the morning and evening are not very hot, so it is not too uncomfortable.
