Dog Days of Summer
When is the Dog Days of Summer? July 3 to August 11
Wow, it's sure hot and muggy. That's because we're in the Dog Days of Summer, the hottest, muggiest days of the year. As the song goes "roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer". If you are feeling the effects of hot, muggy, sultry, "weather that you can wear", you can be certain that you are in the Dog Days of Summer. It is also a period of drought and occasional strong thunderstorms.
By definition, the Dog Days Summer are the hottest and steamiest part of summer. Typically, this is the period when Sirius, the Dog Star, rises at the same time as the Sun, from July 3 -August 11.
When the Dog Days of Summer arrive, it's time to do those memorable summer time activities, that help us to keep our cool. They include:
Take a dip in the pool.
Go to the beach
Take the kids to a water park
Watch the sultry days go by in a cozy hammock
Laze under a shady tree.
Quaff your thirst with a frozen summer drink.
Go to an evening baseball game
Whatever your favorite pastime for the Dog Days of Summer, we do not believe it should be spent indoors all day long, in air conditioned comfort. Rather, get out and enjoy the hot weather while it is here. After all, the days are already growing shorter, and you know what that ultimately leads to......
The wetness of a dog's nose is essential for determining what direction a smell is coming from.
