天氣

　　There is typically autumn weather during Bailu period, when wild geese begin to migrate to the south and birds start to stock food for the long winter time. Hot summer is gone. However, it could be still warm in south China. It is different in the Yangtze River and Huaihe River valleys where it is usually humid during this period, as the saying goes: "It's unusual to see ten continuous sunny days."

　　白露時節，是典型的秋日天氣，在這個時候大雁開始向南遷徙，鳥兒開始儲備食物果凍。炎熱的夏天已經過去了。然而，在中國南部依然炎熱。俗話說：“能遇上連續十天晴朗已經很不尋常了。”在這段時間，長江及黃河下遊地區通常表現為陰雨連綿的天氣。
