Battling the Scorching Heat | This Is a Pengfei Warrior

 

It’s already been five days since the first solar term of autumn, Beginning of Autumn. Although temperatures have dipped slightly compared to recent days, please pay attention—please, please, please! (Important things deserve to be repeated.) Beginning of Autumn does not mean the start of autumn, nor does it signal the end of the sweltering heat. Next week, some parts of Shanxi will see maximum temperatures climb back up to 35°C! Is a fierce “autumn tiger” on its way?

The beginning of autumn does not mark the end of the sweltering heat; it still falls within the peak of summer’s warmth, and the season’s full transition to cooler weather only occurs with the second solar term, “End of Heat.” During early autumn, the weather remains quite hot. As the saying goes, “the greatest heat lies in the three dog days,” and there is also the notion of “one more dog day after autumn begins.” Thus, even after the start of autumn, at least one more period of intense heat typically follows. According to the traditional calculation of the “three dog days,” the day of the “beginning of autumn” often still falls within the middle dog days—meaning the height of summer has yet to pass. True coolness generally does not arrive until after the White Dew solar term. The dividing line between scorching heat and refreshing coolness does not lie at the “beginning of autumn” itself.

The scorching heat persists, yet the hardworking Pengfei team presses on at the front lines—striving with unwavering determination, braving extreme temperatures and sweltering summer conditions, ensuring safety, and striving for record yields. They shoulder their responsibilities with resolve, bringing green energy into everyday life.
