The Dog Days

The dog days - diēs caniculārēs - reference the hottest days of summer which are July and August.

This has its roots in the belief that Sirius - also known as the Dog Star - was responsible for the hot weather due to its proximity to the sun.

Best to get that walk out of the way in the early morning before breakfast.
