It will be hot for another 15 to 60 days after fall.

In some areas, autumn may be followed by a period of hot weather known as the "autumn heat", while in others, the cooler days of autumn may come sooner. Generally speaking, in most parts of China, the beginning of autumn may be followed by a period of so-called "Autumn Tiger", the last wave of hot weather in the summer, which usually occurs within half a month to a month after the beginning of autumn. This period may last for an inconsistent period of time, depending on local weather conditions.

Southern or tropical regions may have longer "fall tigers" because these regions have warmer climates and the summer heat may last longer. In the north, on the other hand, the tigers may be shorter, with cooler autumns arriving relatively early due to the gradual drop in temperatures. But it won't last more than a month at most.
