Signification
Describing high temperature.
Contexte culturel
During hot weather, Azerbaijanis often retreat to 'bağ evləri' (garden houses) in villages like Mardakan or Shuvelan to enjoy the sea breeze. The 'Gilavar' wind is a warm southern wind that makes the weather feel even hotter and more humid. It is culturally expected to drink hot tea in the heat. Offering a cold soda is common now, but tea remains the traditional choice. In the peak of summer, some businesses might have shorter hours or longer lunch breaks to avoid the midday heat.
Drop the -dir

Personal Heat
Remember: 'Mənə istidir' (To me it is hot). Never 'Mən istiyəm' unless you want to sound like a heater!
