The crossword clue "Hot summer period named for the constellation Sirius" with the answer "DOGDAYS" refers to the period of particularly hot and humid weather that occurs during summer, typically in July and August. The term "Dog Days" is rooted in ancient astronomy and is associated with the heliacal rising of the star Sirius, the brightest star in the Canis Major (Greater Dog) constellation.

In ancient times, especially in Greek and Roman cultures, this period was believed to bring extreme heat, drought, and discomfort, as Sirius appeared to rise just before the sun during the hottest part of the year. While modern science no longer links Sirius to summer weather, the expression "Dog Days" has endured to describe the sweltering heat that still characterizes this time.
