Contexte culturel
Bulgarians often use 'топло време' as a cue to start drinking 'айрян' (yogurt drink) or cold beer in outdoor gardens. In the Balkans, warm weather is often associated with 'комшулук' (neighborliness), where people sit on benches outside their houses to chat. The 'season' officially starts when the 'топло време' becomes consistent, usually in late May. In Sofia, 'топло време' means the parks (like South Park or Borisova Gradina) will be packed with people sitting on the grass.
