Often in August, people are starting to tire of the high heat and humidity that are called “The Dog Days of Summer.” However, the original term dealt with a star Sirius, the dog star, in the constellation Canis Major.

Generally in late August, a strong cold front will cross Connecticut to end the dog days and remind the residents that fall is approaching and give a few cool days to follow.  Often it may be associated with aq Full Moon, which is the 29^th. The current forecast indicates the front will be here around the 26^th this year and there will be few days that reach 90 for the rest of the year.  Enjoy the Fall.
