Signification
A day with lots of sun.
Contexte culturel
A sunny day is the primary signal for 'cottage culture'. Many Czechs leave cities for the countryside to garden and hike. Sun is highly valued due to long, overcast winters. A sunny day in February is a major event and often celebrated with outdoor walks. Sunny days are synonymous with 'zahrádky' (beer gardens). It is culturally expected to have a drink outside if the sun is out. The sun was historically seen as a source of truth. A 'sunny day' meant nothing could be hidden.
