Early Sommerloch
I usually do not write in German on this blog.
Some German words have been directly integrated into English, though.
Kindergarten, Gesundheit, Meister ...
I do not know how these things work, but I propose you pick up:
Sommerloch
I tried to find an English word, that describes the same phenomenon.
I found the translations:
- summer slump
- silly season
The most obvious effect of Sommerloch is that the news have nothing important to report about.
In Germany during the hot season, everything seems to slow down.
This is not reduced to politics, but affects the stock market, work, post and parcel services ... everything ...
Due to the unusually hot May, I feel like we experienced an early Sommerloch.
I certainly did.
Today is a bit colder and I found the time to write a small piece.
Maybe we can make the word Sommerloch stick.
I encourage you to use it.
Meanwhile, I try to make the most of the weather and hope you do the same.
Puhh tell me about it. This weather in Germany is much warmer than expected. Slowing both me and my bike down:)!
Right now we have Eisheilige. Be prepared. Frost isn't unusual, but unlikely this year.
It will end next week and the nice weather will pick up again.
Safe travels !
Actually today it's much colder than the last week. But as long it's not raining or snowing then I'm a happy man:) haha!
jaja die tückischen Eisheiligen :D
What you call summer is called "bad weather" here :D
Well, the last few days were pretty rainy.
But today it's beautiful again!
Not too hot and not too cold.
Do you mean, that you become less productive the better the weather gets?
I just do different activities.
We call it Slump season (Sezona krastavaca)
🤔
Sommerlouch...
Sounds interesting. Lemme play with it
What do you think?
There will be plenty of Eurozone news when Italy gets a new government...
Americans don't need a word for it; they have airco and no holidays, so they keep going in the summer. :)
Here the last days are a lot of summer.
We hope soon that the days are rainy and thus will be more productive!
Luckily no summer here. Just raining and dry season
I am in Sommerloch for sure. Drawing is much better when it is cold and dark. All this light!
@felixxxx, great work the Early Sommerloch in Germany my friend
