Self-portraits in the “Autumn Tiger”: Either arrogant or low-key, I love to go to these cities

China Weather Network News: Recently, the "autumn tiger" has continued to wreak havoc in many parts of the south, leaving the summer heat in a lonely state. What kind of tiger is the "autumn tiger"? Which city does it like to go to the most? How much do you know about its legend? China Weather Network has released a self-portrait of the "autumn tiger", let's take a look.

I often appear after the beginning of autumn. Whether it will be powerful depends on the "face" of the subtropical high pressure.

My name is "Autumn Tiger", which refers to the short-term return of hot weather after the beginning of autumn. When the autumn coolness slowly approaches between August and September, I will come out and make a shining debut!

I like to play in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, Jiangnan, South China, and the eastern part of the southwest region. I can stay there for half a month to two months. Sometimes I stay until late September or even October. I am good at creating continuous high temperatures and extremely high temperatures. People often say that my personality is unpredictable. In some years, I am overbearing and make many places break high temperatures; in other years, I live in seclusion and the high temperatures disappear without a trace. Of course, I also have principles. Whether I come or not depends mainly on the "face" of the subtropical high pressure. In short, where I am, the afternoon is hot and sultry.

I like to travel in the south. Chongqing is my favorite city.

I often expand my territory in the south, so the cities where you are most likely to meet me are mainly distributed in the south. I like to go to Chongqing the most. In the 60 days from the beginning of autumn to the autumnal equinox, Chongqing has an average of 14.6 days with high temperatures, so there is about a one-in-four chance of meeting me; Fuzhou is second with 11.9 days, with a one-fifth chance; Hangzhou, Nanchang, Changsha, Guangzhou, Wuhan, Nanning, Shanghai (Xujiahui), Hefei and other places also have more than one-tenth chance of meeting me.

Compared to the south, the weather in most cities in the north has gradually become cooler at this time, but I have not been there completely. For example, in Xi'an and Zhengzhou, the average number of high-temperature days is 3.4 days and 2.2 days, respectively, with a 3% to 5% chance of encountering them.

My history of might is impressive. I once set off the strongest heat wave in history.

When I am hot, it is simply too hot. I have caused many impressive events and won with one move. In 2008, I was rampant in the south and stayed relatively late, causing a large area of ​​high temperature south of the Yangtze River to continue until late September. The range was wide and the intensity was strong, which was rare in history. I remember that on September 22 of that year, Changsha, Wuhan, and Guangzhou all set the historical extreme values ​​in late September since local meteorological records were kept!

In addition, 2013 was the year of the king again, setting off the strongest heat wave in the south since 1951. After the beginning of autumn, the highest daily temperature in many places such as Shanghai and Hangzhou exceeded 40℃ and lasted for many days, which is rare in history. The continuous high temperature and low rainfall led to the rapid development of drought in Jiangnan and Guizhou, and the direct economic losses in Guizhou, Hunan, Jiangxi, Zhejiang and other provinces exceeded 48 billion yuan.

There are endless legends about me, but I also have a trick to avoid them.

Over the years, I have won many honors, and thus some proverbs and customs have also emerged among the people. I would like to introduce them to you below.

For example, the proverb "If there is no rain on the day of the Beginning of Autumn, there will be 24 hot autumn days." This means that if there is no rain on the day of the Beginning of Autumn, or if there is thunder but no rain, there will be a drought and the hot and dry weather will last for 24 days. These 24 days are called "24 hot autumn days", which fully demonstrates my strength and power.

There are also sayings such as “The heat of the Great Heat is not thorough, the great heat comes after autumn”, “If it is not the Beginning of Autumn, there will still be a month of hot weather”, and “After the Beginning of Autumn, the weather will be as hot as a date-seed, hot at noon and cool in the morning and evening”, all of which indicate that due to my existence, it will still be very hot after the Beginning of Autumn, especially during the day, and the heat will be obvious.

My power should not be underestimated. Finally, I would like to remind you that if you want to avoid me, you should either stay in an air-conditioned room or bring sun protection equipment when you go out. Another trick is to wait for the cold air to subdue me. Of course, you can also summon Wu Song. (Planning/Liu Jun Design/Zhang Li Data Support/Hu Xiao)
