Cold Dew | Explore 24 solar terms along the Tropic of Cancer

Today, October 8th, marks the beginning of the Cold Dew.

The Cold Dew (Chinese:寒露) is the 17th solar term of the year and the fifth one of autumn. Every year, when the sun reaches 195°celestial longitude, around October 7th to 9th, the Cold Dew period starts.

This solar term is seen as a turning point in the weather. After entering the Cold Dew, the weather gradually turns cool in the areas around the Tropic of Cancer, with the temperature difference between day and night growing larger. The same can be said for life. Despite all vicissitudes, just face the challenges and frustration bravely, and there will be light at the end of the tunnel.
