Summer time is a season that typically falls between spring and autumn. It is characterized by warm temperatures, long days, and plenty of sunshine. July is the seventh month of the year and is the hottest month of summer in many parts of the world. DST stands for Daylight Saving Time, which is when clocks are moved forward an hour in the spring and back an hour in the fall. Dog Days refer to the period of time between early July and mid-August when the weather is usually the hottest. Finally, Daylight Savings is a practice of setting clocks forward an hour in the spring and back an hour in the fall in order to make better use of daylight.
