小暑 Xiaoshu: literally means “ minor heat”
Xiaoshu indicates that although the weather is very hot, it is not the hottest time yet. The temperature will become higher, and reaches its top on the day of Dashu. It usually begins on around 7 July and ends on around 22 July.
意思是說雖然天氣已經很炎熱，但還不是最熱的時候，天氣會一天比一天熱，而最熱的時節是下一個節氣—「大暑」。小暑通常在國曆7月7日至7月22日。
In this term, Taiwan has already been in the hot summer climate. It is often blazing and muggy in the morning; nevertheless, there will be the convectional rain in the afternoon, which can make people feel much more comfortable. Besides, this is the time most typhoons will come.
這個時節的台灣已經進入典型的夏季型氣候，常常上午是艷陽高照又無風，讓人感覺悶熱，但到了下午則會有一場又急又快的「西北雨」，舒緩燥熱的天氣。另外，此時節也最多颱風。

小暑時節天氣炙熱，人們往往會出汗來調節體溫，從而使身體容易缺水。多飲水是消除疲勞、緩解體內代謝的好辦法。另外，此時節也要注意防止心力衰竭。
