Traditionary the Dog Days of Summer are connected to the dawn rising of Sirus the dog star.
According to the Old Farmer's Almanac the forty days of the Dog Days of Summer start July 3 and ends on Aug 11. The forty days are said to be the hottest, drought ridden, humid, and I will add the most miserable days of summer.

It's starting to look like the old farmer was right -- the next 10 days here are predicted to be 102 to 113.

It kinda started earlier here. So hot, so humid, even the breeze feels extremely warm. Only your sweet and the breeze will even cool ya a bit.
Thanks for the info Sara!;Do stay cool everyone!!
