Beginning of Winter is the nineteenth solar term in the twenty-four solar terms of the lunar calendar. It is determined based on the time when the sun reaches 225 degrees of the ecliptic longitude.
The Beginning of Winter is not only the time for harvest ceremonies and harvest banquets, but also the time when the cold wind blows. There are customary activities such as "October New Year", "Qin New Year's Day", "Cold Clothes Festival" and "Harvest Festival". At this time, in the north, it is the first month of winter when "water freezes and the ground begins to freeze", but in the south it is spring weather.

What are the characteristics of the Beginning of Winter?

1. In the northern part of South China during the Beginning of Winter in autumn and summer , even if the cold wind blows through, the temperature will rise rapidly. When it is sunny and windless, there is often a saying that "October is a small spring, warm and windless". Winter here usually comes in December. Southern South China, Taiwan, and island areas such as Hainan Island to the south have not yet entered winter in November. But the temperature in November is not very high, and the highest temperature is generally below 30℃. In addition, it is not ruled out that the temperature may drop sharply due to the influence of strong cold air, but it has rarely occurred in recent years.
2. Frost and fog are prone to occur in late winter and autumn. In November of a normal year, the first frost will appear from the Qinling Mountains in the north, the western and southern Huanghuai Mountains, to the northern Jiangnan region in the south. In relatively cold years, the first frost may occur north of the Nanling Mountains in mid-November. In the north in November, as the cold front moves out of the area, the cold air mass behind the front begins to degenerate into a warmer direction. If there is no subsequent cold air replenishment, after a few days, although the temperature rises, the air quality gradually deteriorates. Especially in large cities, the water vapor and pollutant particles accumulated in the atmosphere combine and condense to form smog or thick fog, affecting people's health and traffic operations. In southwest my country and the south of the Yangtze River, water vapor conditions are better than in the north. If the temperature is low in the morning, heavy fog often appears.
3. The first snowfall in North China is diverse
After November, precipitation across the country decreased significantly. The snow on the plateau mountains no longer melts. The first snow often occurs in North China and other places. The first snow in Beijing is difficult to predict and has a great impact, so it often requires special attention. At this time, precipitation appears in various forms: rain, snow, sleet, hail, ice pellets, etc. When there is strong cold air, it will also snow in the south of the Yangtze River. The typical continuous rainy season in western China has ended in the southwest region, but compared with the situation where there is basically little rainfall in the whole country, it is still a place with relatively much rainfall. According to the temporal distribution of precipitation in the southwest, November enters the dry season of the year. The characteristics of the dry season are more obvious in the southwest and northwest. The Sichuan Basin, eastern Guizhou, and southwestern Yunnan will still have rainfall of more than 50 mm in November. In Yunnan, sunny days are warm and rainy days are cold. There is a saying that "the four seasons are like spring, and winter comes as soon as it rains." If there is an invasion of strong cold air and a response of warm and humid air currents, the rainfall in southern China will be even heavier. At this time, the rainy days and rainfall in areas north of the Yangtze River and in southern China are less and heavier than those in the south of the Yangtze River. For South China, which has three crops a year, the drought in November still has a negative impact on crop growth.
4. The temperature drops significantly. As the cold air strengthens, the temperature drops faster. People are accustomed to the cooling in the north. Starting from late October, heating was provided, and people now had a place to escape the cold. For people in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, which is in the "little spring" in late autumn, the average temperature is generally 12℃ to 15℃. The drizzle has ended. If a strong cold front moves south quickly, the temperature may drop by 8-10℃ or even more in less than a day. But after the strong wind, the sun shines, the cold air mass quickly changes, and the temperature rises quickly. The rise in temperature and the accumulation of heat will cause the next round of cold air to bring a significant drop in temperature. At this time, the pleasant late autumn weather is coming to an end, and the obvious drop in temperature has caused the area to enter the first frost period, which is also the best period for viewing red leaves, and winter will gradually begin at the end of November.
