"Whether the wax moon is cold or not, it depends on the twenty-second day of the winter month", the twenty-second day of the winter moon today, is there much rain and snow this winter?

On January 3, the twenty-second day of the traditional lunar winter month, a new round of the arrival of the midwinter of the lunar month has aroused the attention and worries of people all over the mainland about extreme weather. According to the prediction of meteorological experts, today and even the whole month of Wax may face frequent intrusion of cold waves and cold air, and the mainland region especially needs to pay attention to prevent snowfall and other adverse meteorological conditions.

Rainfall and strong winds continued in the northwestern part of Guangdong Province today, and the temperature dropped significantly from yesterday. As of now, the wax moon is coming to an end, and the new year is almost a month away, but according to the traditional Chinese lunar calendar, this year still belongs to 2023. The agricultural proverb of our ancestors tells us that the harsh winter wind passes rapidly on the twenty-second day of the winter month, marking a sharp drop in temperature and a terrible cold. In the lunar month of each year, the frequent cold and snowstorms continue until the end of the year, and the whole winter is destined to be shrouded in severe cold desert.

The Tang Dynasty poet Li Qiao said, "In the autumn lanterns of the sad night, the soul leaves after awakening" is an accurate description of this kind of weather that seems to be out of the soul. Fortunately, however, scientists' understanding of this traditional agricultural proverb provides strong support for predicting future weather changes. Among the only few pieces of information related to the twenty-second day of the winter moon in many ancient folk proverbs, we can find that in the cold winter when the wax moon arrives, if the twenty-second day of the winter moon is pressing, it confirms that this winter will be shrouded in severe cold silence.

According to the latest statistics from the Guangdong Meteorological Bureau, the temperature in the area has cooled sharply today, and the surrounding aboveground water flow has converged. It seems that in this lunar month, the original cold climate will become more and more severe, and people everywhere must strengthen warm and cold protection measures, and do not be caught off guard by the sudden cold.
