When is the Summer Solstice in 2020? Is it the hottest day?
Summer solstice means the arrival of hot summer. This is the third solar term in the hot season, so when is the summer solstice in 2020? Is it the hottest day? The "Book of Songs" records that "cicadas sing in May". Cicadas are the chirping summer cicadas in the fifth month of the lunar calendar, so it is called singing cicadas. Shuimoxiansheng.com has compiled some articles related to the fifth month of the lunar calendar in 2020. Let’s take a look.When is the Summer Solstice in 2020?Gregorian calendar time: Sunday, June 21, 2020 Lunar calendar time: May 1, 2020Is the 2020 Summer Solstice the hottest day?The summer solstice is not the hottest day.The reason why the summer solstice is not the hottest time of the year is that on the summer solstice, the sun's position directly above the ground reaches the northernmost point of the year, almost directly above the Tropic of Cancer. The daylight in the northern hemisphere reaches its longest, and the further north you go, the longer the daylight becomes. Which day will be the hottest in 2020?Great Heat is the hottest solar term in the year.The Great Heat of 2020 is July 22, 2020, so July 22, 2020 is the hottest day. Generally speaking, the Great Heat solar term is the period with the most sunshine and the highest temperature in the basin in a year. Great Heat is the twelfth solar term among the 24 solar terms. It occurs from July 22 to 24 of the Gregorian calendar every year when the sun reaches 120° of the ecliptic longitude, indicating that the weather is extremely hot and the hottest period has arrived. The temperature is the highest at this time, and there are more thunderstorms. In many parts of China, high temperatures of 40 degrees Celsius often occur. There are customs among the people such as drinking Fu tea, drying Fu ginger, and burning Fu incense. What are the climatic characteristics of the summer solstice?Climate characteristics of the summer solstice: Convective weather <br /> After the summer solstice, the ground is heated strongly, and air convection is strong, so thunderstorms are likely to form in the afternoon and evening. This type of hot thunderstorm comes and goes suddenly, and the rainfall range is small, so people call it "summer rain across the fields."Liu Yuxi, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, once cleverly used this kind of weather as a metaphor to write the famous lines "The sun rises in the east and it rains in the west, it says there is no sunshine but there is sunshine." The heavy rainfall brought by convective weather is not always as beautiful as described in poems, and often brings local disasters. The poet Xu Shuxin also gave an apt description of summer thunderstorm weather in his poem "In Summer Rain": "I sit on the stage in the hot summer breeze, frogs croak and cicadas chirp in the dust. Thunderbolts in the blue sky and golden gongs sound, and cold rain falls on my face like money." Climate characteristics of the summer solstice: heavy rain <br /> In most cases, during the summer solstice, the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River and the Jianghuai River basin are in the plum rain season, with frequent heavy rains, which can easily lead to floods and even threaten people's lives and property. Attention should be paid to strengthening flood prevention work. The summer solstice is the "plum rain" season in the Jianghuai area. This is the time when the plums in the south of the Yangtze River are ripe and the air is very humid. The cold and warm air masses meet here to form a low-pressure trough, resulting in continuous rainy weather. In such weather, objects will become moldy, people will feel uncomfortable, some mosquitoes will reproduce very quickly, and some intestinal pathogens will easily breed. At this time, you should pay attention to the hygiene of drinking water, try not to eat raw or cold food, and prevent the occurrence and spread of infectious diseases. Climate characteristics of the summer solstice: high temperature <br /> The summer solstice, like the winter solstice, is a solar term that reflects the change of seasons. Astronomically speaking, the summer solstice marks the beginning of summer in the Northern Hemisphere. After the summer solstice, although the sun's direct point begins to move gradually southward from the Tropic of Cancer, the daytime in the Northern Hemisphere begins to gradually shorten, and the altitude of the sun at noon also begins to decrease day by day for the Tropic of Cancer and the areas to its north, the temperature will continue to rise for a period of time in the future because the heat radiated by the sun to the ground is still greater than the heat dissipated by the ground to the air. Therefore, there is a saying that "the summer solstice will not be hot unless it is too late." According to data from 1951 to 2006, the historical extremes in many northern cities occurred after the summer solstice. |
