What are the dog days of summer? Most people think the idiom was derived from those summer days that are so exponentially blazing hot that dogs just lay around on the hot concrete, lazily panting. The “Dog Days of Summer” are traditionally thought to represent the hottest, most unbearable days of the summer.
The dog days are those hot sultry summer days that occur between July and early September and is defined as a period of stagnation and inactivity.
Originally the expression was based on Sirius – the brightest (hottest) star in the constellation Canis Major meaning Big Dog in Latin and said to represent one of Orion’s hunting dogs.
