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 29th. The current forecast indicates the front will be here around the 26th this year and there will be few days that reach 90 for the rest of the year. Enjoy the Fall.
