Dog days of summer

The idiom "dog days of summer" refers to the hottest and most uncomfortable period during the summer season. It originated from ancient times when people noticed that during this time, the star Sirius, also known as the "Dog Star," rose and set with the sun. This period is often associated with lethargy, laziness, and a general feeling of sluggishness due to the intense heat. So, when we say it's the dog days of summer, we mean it's the hottest and most sweltering time of the year.
