Signification
The warmest season of the year.
Contexte culturel
During the 'isti yay', Azerbaijanis eat 'qarpız-pendir' (watermelon and cheese) as a refreshing meal. It's the ultimate summer food combo. The 'isti yay' leads to the 'evening culture' where the city only truly wakes up after 8 PM when the temperature drops slightly. People move to 'bağ evləri' (garden houses) to escape the city heat. This migration is a key part of the 'isti yay' experience. In the mountains, 'isti yay' is much milder, making places like Quba and Qusar popular 'escape' destinations.
