Worried about missing the Minor Heat (Xiaoshu) solar term? The Minor Heat Countdown tool automatically retrieves the current date and compares it with July 7th of the Gregorian calendar (the typical date for Minor Heat) to calculate and display the exact number of days left until the next solar term in real time. Minor Heat is the 11th of the 24 traditional Chinese solar terms, marking the official beginning of midsummer, though it has not yet reached its hottest point.
Q: Is Minor Heat always on July 7th?
A: Minor Heat usually falls around July 7th on the Gregorian calendar, but there can be a 1-2 day fluctuation based on astronomical observations. This tool uses July 7th as the baseline for calculations, which closely aligns with the actual solar term date.
Q: Is the countdown accurate to the hour?
A: No, this tool only displays full days. If today is Minor Heat, it will prompt "Today is Minor Heat."
Please ensure your device's time is set correctly, as inaccuracies will affect the calculation results. The countdown is based on Gregorian calendar dates and does not account for complex factors like leap months in the lunar calendar. This tool does not collect any user data and is completely safe to use.
The Minor Heat solar term occurs when the sun reaches the celestial longitude of 105°, typically falling on July 7th or 8th. For more precise astronomical calculations, please refer to the solar term timetable published by the National Time Service Center for the current year. For example, Minor Heat in 2024 was on July 6th at 22:19, but this tool still uses July 7th as the display baseline to align with general public awareness.
