Significado
Weather characterized by bright sunlight.
Contexto cultural
Sunčano vreme is the signal for 'bašta' (garden) season. Serbs will spend hours sitting outside, even if they have work to do. Some believe that if it's sunčano vreme on a specific saint's day, the year will be prosperous. Conversely, 'zubato sunce' (cold sun) is a warning to keep your kidneys warm. In Montenegro and the Serbian coast, sunčano vreme is linked to 'fjaka'—a state of mind where one is too relaxed to do anything but enjoy the sun. In rural Serbia, sunčano vreme is discussed with a focus on crops. Too much sun is 'suša' (drought), while just enough is a blessing.
