Our definition says it's 20 days, but it can be just 10 days.

The Three Fu (三伏; sānfú) are three periods of hot weather, counted from the first gēng day after the summer solstice. The first fu (初伏; chūfú) is 10 days long. The mid-fu (中伏; zhōngfú) is 10 or 20 days long. The last fu (末伏; mòfú) is 10 days from the first gēng day after the beginning of autumn.

中伏 (二伏) 夏至後第四個庚日起到立秋3後第一個庚日前。第四個庚日定為中伏開始的第一天,由於第五庚日可以出現在立秋日的前或後,故中伏可能為10天或20天。
