"Dog Days" / "Dog Days Of Summer"

The period in the summer often thought to be hottest, usually considered to be July 3 to August 11. By extension, a period of lethargy, inactivity, or stagnation.


Sidebar: In ancient times, people associated the heat during this period with the concurrent rising of Sirius, nicknamed "the dog star." The phrase is a translation of the Latin dies caniculares, meaning "dog star days."
