Feels like the dog days of summer have been here for a month already! The term "dog days of summer" refers to the period of time, typically in July and August, when the weather is hot and humid. The phrase originated from the ancient belief that during this time, the "Dog Star" Sirius, which is the brightest star in the constellation Canis Major (Big Dog), rises and sets with the sun. The ancient Greeks and Romans associated this celestial event with the hottest days of summer.

The dog days of summer are often characterized by high temperatures, heatwaves, and increased humidity. It is a time when people typically seek ways to stay cool, such as spending time at the beach, using air conditioning, or enjoying outdoor activities in the early morning or evening when it is cooler. If you get really bored stop in for an insurance review. Our air conditioning is working great!
