When is the first day of the dog days?

July 16, 2022 is the first day of dog days this year.

This year's "dog days" are the first few days from July 16 to 25, the middle days from July 26 to August 14, and the last days from August 15 to 24. The dog days last for 40 days.

The dog days consist of the first, middle and last three days, with the first being 10 day, the last being 10 day and the middle being 10 day or 20 days, so the dog days are divided into 30 days or 40 days. The dog days of the year should be calculated by combining the first day and the last day.

Dog days note:

The dog days refer to the period from light summer heat to great summer heat. Dog days are the hottest stage in summer, characterized by high temperature and humid heat. At this time, the scorching sun is like fire, the earth is like a steamer, and everyone suffers from midsummer. Even if you do nothing in the dog days, it is often unbearable, and summer vacation has become the top priority.

Sleeping is the hottest day of the year, so everyone should pay attention to heatstroke prevention and protect themselves. The weather is hot, especially to prevent heatstroke and heatstroke. Especially during the hottest hours of noon and afternoon, we should try our best to reduce going out. When going out or working in high temperature, you must do a good job in heatstroke prevention and sun protection, such as playing a sunshade, wearing a sun hat, wearing sunglasses, applying sunscreen, and preparing for heatstroke prevention and cooling.
