Great summer, the hottest solar term of the year has come, how long will it be hot?
Every year around July 23rd in Gregorian calendar, when the sun reaches longitude 120 degrees, it is the beginning of summer solar terms. The great summer heat is the hottest solar term in a year, even hotter than the small summer heat, so it is called the great summer heat. It is the hottest in summer, because since the beginning of summer, the heat absorbed from the ground sun during the day is greater than the heat emitted at night, and the heat keeps accumulating, and the accumulated heat reaches its peak in summer.
In midsummer and hot summer, in Jianghuai and North China, the sun is often like fire, with low wind speed, high humidity and unbearable heat. The highest temperature in the afternoon is often above 35 degrees Celsius. Especially in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River under the control of subtropical high, it is a big stove.
