زمینه فرهنگی
In the countryside, this phrase is often followed by a specific action, like covering the haystack or bringing in the animals. It's a functional tool for survival. Many children's songs and folk tunes use this imagery to teach kids about nature and rhythm. Even in the concrete jungle of Budapest, you'll hear this in the 'metró' or at 'romkocsmák' (ruin pubs) when people decide whether to sit in the garden or inside. Hungarian authors like Géza Gárdonyi used weather idioms to ground their stories in the authentic speech of the peasantry.
