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.
The Romans associated the hot weather with Sirius because it is the brightest star in the constellation, Canis Major, meaning Large Dog. As for the timing of Dog Days, it varies from region to region. Here in Kansas, Dog Days of Summer usually begin in mid-July and run through early September.
