The official soundtrack of summer in the province. That incredibly loud, almost-deafening buzzing sound from the trees that starts when the sun is at its hottest. It's nature's way of saying 'Ang init, 'no?'
From Spanish 'cicada'.
Not as commonly used as the English word, but understood, especially in more formal or literary contexts.
