Lodos

Lodos is the warm wind from Africa, a wind that disrupts and brings turbulence to the city and a wind that influences the soul and temperament... It brings on a melancholy, that is present in Turkish literature called hüzün. " Hüzün does not  just paralyze the inhabitants 

of Istanbul, it also gives them poetic license to be paralyzed." 

- Orhan Pamuk, Istanbul
