Is the Great Heat the hottest time in 2019?

The solar term of Great Heat falls during the middle of the dog days of summer, the hottest time of the year.
The Great Heat solar term is the period with the most sunshine and the highest temperature in my country in a year. Most parts of the country are dry and rainy, and the temperature in many areas reaches over 35 degrees. The so-called "three major furnaces" are also at their most prosperous.
Everyone knows that “the hottest time of the year is during the dog days”. The Great Heat usually falls in the middle stage of the three hottest days. At this time, most parts of our country are in the hottest period of the year, and the temperature difference across the country is not large. It coincides with the proverb: "It's coldest in the 39th day of winter and hottest in the 5th day of summer." As the name suggests, the Great Heat is hotter than the Lesser Heat. In many areas of our country, high temperatures of 40 degrees Celsius often occur.

Lesser Heat or Greater Heat?

Lesser Heat is the eleventh solar term of the twenty-four solar terms and falls on July 7 or 8 every year. "Shu" means hot, and "Xiaoshu" means a little hot, not very hot. It means the weather is starting to get hot, but it's not at its hottest yet.
A poem says, "The earth is boiling and the sky is steaming while we expect rain and wind. Occasionally there is a thunderstorm and a half rainbow. Drought in the south and flood in the north, the new world is always covered with lotus ponds with the same color and flavor." The average temperature in southern China during the Lesser Heat season is generally around 33℃. In the low-altitude river valley areas in the southeast of South China, the average daily temperature may be above 30℃ and the maximum daily temperature may be above 35℃ starting from mid-July. In the northern part of the Northwest Plateau, frost and snow can still be seen at this time, which is equivalent to the early spring scene in South China.
With the beginning of Lesser Heat, the plum rain season in the Yangtze and Huaihe River basins ends one after another, and the vast areas in the east north of the Huaihe River and Qinling Mountains begin the southeast monsoon rainy season from the Pacific Ocean. Precipitation increases significantly and the rainfall is relatively concentrated. South China, Southwest China, and the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau are also in the southwest monsoon rainy season from the Indian Ocean and the South my country Sea. The middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River generally experience high temperatures and little rain under the control of subtropical high pressure.

Dietary taboos and precautions during the Great Heat:

1. Avoid using cold drinks to cool down: During the Great Heat period, the Yang energy is the strongest in the year. In addition to the hot summer air, there is also damp and turbid air. In order to cool off, people often drink a lot of beer and other beverages to cool off. If you are not careful, it will cause gastrointestinal discomfort and lead to diarrhea.
2. Avoid drinking large amounts of water: You should drink small amounts of water multiple times, with no more than 300 ml each time.
3. Avoid eating a lot of greasy food: You should eat less greasy food to adapt to the digestive function of the gastrointestinal tract in summer.
4. Avoid eating spicy food: The stomach and intestines have weaker absorption and digestion capabilities in summer. Although spicy food can stimulate the appetite, you cannot eat too much, otherwise it will damage the spleen and stomach. As the saying goes, "A good fate is not as good as good luck." A person's destiny is already determined, and the only thing that can be controlled is his or her "luck."
