1. Dog days

   The dog days or dog days of summer are the hot, sultry days of summer. They were historically the period following the heliacal rising of the star system Sirius (known colloquially as the "Dog Star"), which Hellenistic astrology connected with heat, drought, sudden thunderstorms, lethargy, fever, mad dogs, and bad luck. They are now taken to be the hottest, most uncomfortable part of summer in the Northern Hemisphere.

1. dog days

   Dog days refer to the hottest period of the year, typically from early July to early September, coinciding with the heliacal rising of the Sirius star system in the northern hemisphere. This term comes from the ancient Romans, who referred to these days as "diēs caniculārēs" because they believed that Sirius, also known as the "Dog Star", contributed to the summer heat. The term is now often used to describe any period of intense heat or inactivity.
