Εν ολίγοις, μιλάμε για ένα "πυρετό" που αναπτύσσουν οι πόλεις, ιδιαίτερα το καλοκάιρι. Οταν, για παράδειγμα, σε συνθήκες άπνοιας η θερμοκρασία στην Ιπποκράτους - το πιο ζεστό σημείο της Αθήνας - είναι 44 βαθμοί, αντίστοιχα στην Ηλιούπολη είναι 30, στον Κορυδαλλό 41.
Can this just be translated as 'when there is no wind at all', or is there a meteorological term for it? Δεν μπορώ να το βρώ πουθενά.
