Tomorrow is beginning of Autumn, the Chinese Autumn 立秋 is the 13th solar term in the year. In the Gregorian calendar, it usually begins around August 7th or 8th to 22nd or 23rd August, but this year the Chinese Autumn starts August 8th to 22nd. 明天 立秋，8月8號開始 至8月22號，是中國24氣節的笫13個節氣，夏去秋來，但仍然是暑日的天氣，日間炎熱晚間有時會有秋風，也是颱風及雨季的月份要多留意天氣變化。立秋：一候涼風至，二候白露降，三候寒蟬鳴。立秋過後，刮風時人們會感覺涼爽，空中的水氣凝結成清晨的露珠，秋天感陰而鳴的寒蟬也開始蟬叫。
