The Cat Days of Summer
The Dog Days of summer
The Dog Days of summer are typically the hottest and most humid times of the year so it makes perfect sense to me, that the coolest days should be called The Cat Days of Summer?
Lets write our congressmen :)
Dog Days usually usually fall between July and very early September but the actual days vary greatly from region to region. It depends the latitude and climate of the particular region. The term 'Dog days' has also been used to define a time period or an event that is very hot or stagnant.
It is believed this seasonal period originally was named Dog Days by the Ancient Romans. This is the period when the star Sirius, which is the brightest star that can be seen from Earth, is also known as the Dog Star. In ancient times It was also believed that the heat from Sirius increased the heat of the sun.
