Characteristics of solar terms in autumnal equinox

The autumnal equinox is characterized by the climate changing from hot to cold. The autumnal equinox is a solar term, indicating the transition from early autumn to late autumn. By this solar term, most parts of the country have begun to enter the cool autumn. When the cold air from the south meets the gradually decaying warm and humid air, the rainfall will take away the heat on the ground and lower the surface temperature. Therefore, after the autumnal equinox, the weather will gradually get cold, and the temperature difference at night will gradually widen.

The increasing temperature difference between day and night is one of the characteristics of the autumn equinox. The temperature is low during the day and high at night, which brings some physical discomfort to people. At the same time, the temperature difference between day and night will also lead to changes in people's mood, making people feel cool and cold. Therefore, the temperature difference between day and night in the autumn equinox season is gradually increasing, which brings some physical and psychological discomfort to people.
