8月23日是中国传统的节气——处暑，是二十四节气中的第十四个节气。
处暑中的“处”有结束的意思，处暑是炎热的结束，意味着天气将慢慢变凉。
但是要小心“秋老虎”！
“秋老虎”指刚进入秋天后短时间的高温天气，一般发生在8月和9月之间，温度在35℃以上，这样的高温天气就像老虎一样霸道。
有人会说：“38℃，你告诉我秋天来了？
”没错，秋天已经来了，但是“秋老虎”会让我们感受最后的炎热。
“秋老虎”走后，天气就真的凉了。
所以处暑不代表炎热完全结束，有时中午可能比夏天更热。
总的来说，处暑前后我们还是可以感觉到气温降低的，尤其是早上和晚上，所以要注意增减衣服，避免感冒。
还应该多运动，多吃健康的食物来保持健康。
