Facts about summer<br />

Dog days<br />

of summer<br />

The phrase ‘dogs days of<br />

summer’ used to refer to<br />

sweltering summer days<br />

has more to do with the<br />

stars than dogs.<br />

The Roman’s ‘dies caniculares’<br />

began towards the<br />

end of July when the star<br />

Sirius (A.K.A. the Dog Star)<br />

began to rise in the sky just<br />

before the Sun.<br />

The star was so bright that<br />

the Romans believed it<br />

gave extra heat to the sun<br />

and was responsible for hot<br />

days in summer.<br />

Snow<br />

in June<br />

On June 2, 1975,<br />

snow showers<br />

forced the abandonment<br />

of several<br />

cricket matches<br />

across the country.<br />

The coldest<br />

temperature<br />

ever recorded in<br />

summer in the UK<br />

is -5.6 °C recorded<br />

on June 9, 1955 in<br />

Dalwhinnie, and<br />

again on June<br />

1 and 3, 1962 in<br />

Santon Downham<br />

in Norfolk.<br />

Height of<br />

summer<br />

Did you know<br />

that on a<br />

hot day in<br />

Paris, the Eiffel<br />

Tower grows<br />

taller?<br />

The tower is<br />

constructed<br />

from iron and<br />

when this is<br />

warmed it expands,<br />

causing<br />

the structure<br />

to grow by up<br />

to 17 cm.<br />
