When Are the Dogs Days of Summer? The official âdog daysâ of summer begin on July 3 and end on August 11. So how did this time frame earn its canine nickname? It turns out the phrase has nothing to do with the poor pooches who are forever seeking shade in the July heat, and everything to do with the nighttime sky.
The ancient Greeks gave the period of hot dry weather which started in July and continued into August the name Dog Days because during this time the Dog Star Sirius is rising with the Sun. Sirius is almost as bright as the sun and is very noticeable in late summer. OK, so much for the dogs.
