The theme of this report is to discuss the changes and trends in precipitation and temperature on the specific solar terms' days, as well as in the preceding and following half-month periods, and throughout the whole year in 2022 and 2023. It also analyzes the causes of these changes and investigates whether they align with or differ from the traditional characteristics of solar terms in Taiwan. The study utilizes personnel from schools to conduct Globe atmospheric observations and automatic weather stations to record two years of data. The data results are imported into Excel for organization and to create data charts. Through multiple observations, discussions, and comparisons of the changes and characteristics of solar terms over the two years, the final conclusion is reached after discussions with the teacher, and the report is written.
