Dog Days of Summer 2019

By
Real Estate Agent with Remax First Realty II 0790808

Have you seen the forecast? Hazy, hot, and humid is on its way for the weekend!

The term "dog days" means the 6 weeks from July 3rd to August 11th because that is when the Sun is in the same part of the sky as the "Dog Star" Sirius which is the brightest star in the constellation Canis Major or Big Dog.

But that's not why it's so hot. Summer is hot in New Jersey because the earth is tilted toward the Sun during the summer which means the sun's rays hit more directly and for more hours in the day. 

Wishing you lots of pool days and ice cream during the Dog Days this year!

What a life for a dog! We wish we all are animals to be waited on and get ice cream in the summer.

Hello Jean Marie and Wayne - enjoy life, stay cool and keep hydrated. It's better than shoveling snow, right?

Jeane Marie and Wayne,

Thank you for the detailed explanation of dog days.  I learned something new, and as a kid I gave my dog ice cream to keep him cool.  A

We all scream for ice cream! Just another way of keeping cool in the summer heat. For the family though, it's lemonade. To each his own.
