"Dog Days of Summer"

Tonight

Tomorrow

Did you know: Today (July 23rd) is considered the peak of the "dog days of summer." Rather than the image of dogs panting in the heat, the dog days are named based on astronomy, specifically the star Sirius. Sirius peaks in magnitude and visibility in the dawn hours on July 23rd, and the dog days are said to occur from 20 days before to 20 days after this event. In ancient times, many cultures believed exceptionally hot weather was directly related to the appearance of Sirius - the "dog star."
