The 15th Solar Term - White Dews

White Dews is the 15th solar term. It begins when the Sun reaches the celestial longitude of 165° and ends when it reaches the longitude of 180°.

白露是第15个节气，白露开始的时候太阳到达天文经度165度，结束的时候太阳到达天文经度180度。

There is typically autumn weather during White Dews 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."

白露时期，就是很典型的秋日气候了，这个时期大雁开始向南迁徙，飞鸟都会开始准备越冬食物。而中国南方依然炎热，俗话说：“能遇上连续十天晴朗已经很不寻常了。”在这段时间，长江及黄河下游地区通常表现为阴雨连绵的天气
