贴秋膘了吗？ Fleshing out in autumn

The beginning of autumn

The beginning of autumn is the 13th solar term in the twenty-four solar terms and the first solar term in autumn; in nature, everything begins to grow from lush and mature to bleak and mature. The beginning of autumn does not mean the end of the hot weather. The beginning of autumn is still in the hot period, the summer has not yet come out, and the weather is still very hot during the early autumn. The so-called "hot in the three volts", there is also the saying "one volt after the autumn", there will be at least "one volt" of extremely hot weather after the beginning of autumn.

From the perspective of meteorological changes, entering autumn means that rainfall and humidity are at a turning point in the year and tend to decline or decrease. With the change of seasons, the rainfall and dry humidity in the South have obvious changes; In northern China, the obvious change is the temperature.

初秋

秋初是二十四节气中的第十三节气，也是秋季的第一节气；在自然界中，一切都开始从繁茂和成熟到暗淡和成熟。秋天的开始并不意味着炎热天气的结束。初秋仍然处于炎热时期，夏天还没有出来，初秋的天气仍然很热。所谓“热在三伏”，也有“秋后一伏”之说，初秋后至少会有“一伏”的酷热天气。

从气象变化的角度来看，进入秋季意味着一年中降雨量和湿度处于转折点，并趋于下降或减少。随着季节的变化，南方的降雨量和干湿度有明显的变化；在中国北方，最明显的变化是气温。
