5 Friday Facts About Hot August
Is it hot enough for you? Yikes, it’s been triple digit temperatures herre every day since July. I’m wishing and hoping for rain, but so far, no joy.
Did You Know…
1. August is when we have the Dog Days of summer because this month is the hottest and most humid.
Why Dog Days? Because this month is when the “Dog Star” Sirius is closest to the earth.
2. August originally named Sextilis, or 6th month, because it was the 6th month under the Roman calendar, and it did not have 31 days then. In the Julian and Gregorian calendars, August is the 8th month.
3. The Perseid Meteor Shower, associated with the Swift-Tuttle comet and named Perseids because they appear from the general direction of the constellation Perseus, occurs in August. If you weren’t watching the sky between August 12 and 13th, you missed it.
4. The full moon in August has many names specific to various cultures. The Celts called it the Grain Moon or the Dispute Moon. Grain Moon because that was when they harvested grain, and Dispute Moon because that’s when they settled disputes.
Each of our Native American Nations had a specific name for each month’s full moon. I think the Tunica-Biloxi nation of Louisiana appropriately called it the Hot Moon.
5. August is, of course, named for the Roman Emperor Augustus, which in Latin means inspiring reverence or admiration.
Takeaway Truth
Be careful out in the heat and stay hydrated.
