Information About Pastrami Hots

The Indian summer is a period of sunny and warm days towards the end of the autumn season. This period can sometimes occur several times a year, and sometimes not at all. It usually lasts a few days or a week, and is sunny, slightly windy and misty during the day, and cool at night. Although there is no precipitation, frost can occur at night.

The Indian summer usually occurs when the cold air masses coming from the poles become immobile and form a warm high pressure center. This high pressure center prevents the vertical movement of the air and causes the air to become hazy due to elements such as smoke and dust that condense at low altitudes.

Where Does the Name of Pastrami Summer Come From?

The term pastrami summer was given because pastrami was prepared during this period. The day and night temperatures being close and high allow the pastrami to dry under ideal conditions. Therefore, this period is considered quite suitable for pastrami production.
