Heatwave, starting today. In French, we call it canicule, from the latin canicula, meaning small female dog. Canicula, aka Sirius (from the Greek seirius, fiery), is the main star of the Canis Major (big dog) constellation, 8 light years away. Since antiquity, the ancients have observed that our sun rises and sets with Canis Major, in July and August, when the weather in France is hottest. Complicated Frenchies? Not really, lol.
Therefore, a man and his dog. In winter.
No realheat waves here this summer- yet.
