"The lingering summer clouds drift away, while the delicate autumn breeze begins to stir." 

This is a line from the poem by BAI Juyi from Tang Dynasty, describing the view in the 14th solar term of the year- the end of heat. 

This year it starts on Aug 22 and ends on Sept 6.

End of Heat implies that most parts in China are getting rid of the hot summer and entering autumn. But in some areas, especially in South China, autumn is late in coming and people are still bothered by hot weather. End of Heat is also the busy harvest season for farmers.
