Definition
烈日 means 'scorching sun' or 'blazing sun' — it describes the intense, harsh sunlight typical of summer or desert climates. It is often used with 下 (under) to indicate being exposed to the sun. Note that this is not the Belgian city Liège (列日); the Chinese character 烈 means 'fierce' and 日 means 'sun'.
