  • I'm so glad we are having this Indian Summer so that I can chillax on my staycation.

    I'm also glad this discussion has arisen, as my cursory search for Indian Summer led me to a wikipedia article stating:

    In some regions of the southwestern United States, 'Indian summer' is colloquially used to describe the hottest times of the year, typically in late July or August. But in the South, as elsewhere in the US, this period is more commonly known as the dog days, in reference to the position of Sirius, the 'Dog Star' and brightest star in the sky other than the sun.

    I never knew this was the origin of the phrase dog days.
