Dog Days of Summer

by Sandy Mitchell on July 3rd, 2008

According to the “Old Farmer’s Almanac,” the Dog Days of Summer in the Northern Hemisphere begin July 3 and last 40 days, until August 11. This hottest time of the year gets its name from “Sirius,” the Dog Star, which appeared at sunrise during this period in ancient times.
