It seems that "l'été des Indiens" comes today and for this holiday weekend (It's Canada's Thanksgiving on Monday).
What is "l'été des indiens" ?
The French expression is a translation of English "Indian summer" which began to be used in Pennsylvania (USA) at the end of the 18th century.
The naming of "the Indians" would ensue from the fact that the Amerindians took advantage of this autumnal rise in temperature to prepare their houses to face the rigors of the winter.
In Quebec, the nomad's Amerindians changed fields during this period go far in the North's territories for hunting away in forest (Abitibi, Haute-Mauricie, Côte-Nord).
This phenomenon is unpredictable and can occur in all the regions of the north hemisphere, but sometimes it can not have summer Indians.
"L'été des Indiens" (Indian summer) is a rise of the temperatures after the first frost (gel) on the ground. There should be a temperature higher than normal seasonal during 3 in 4 consecutive days, and few or no rain, thus very sunny days.
Do you have this kind of phenomenon somewhere in Italy ?
