Today's Parola del Giorno is the noun, la tregua, which can mean a truce, as in a truce between two warring countries.
It can also mean respite or relief, such as the kind of relief one feels after a long heat wave!
See the expression used below in its context:
Finalmente una tregua dopo giorni e giorni di afa incredibile! Adesso vorrei sistemare il giardino e fare una bella passeggiata senza sudare.
Finally relief after days and days of incredibly hot weather! Now I would like to clean up the yard and take a pleasant stroll without sweating.
