It is, on average, the warmest month in most of the Northern hemisphere (where it is the second month of [[summer]]) and the coldest month in much of the Southern hemisphere. The second half of the year commences in July. July begins (astrologically) with the sun in the sign of [[Cancer (astrology)|Cancer]] and ends in the sign of [[Leo (astrology)|Leo]]. Astronomically speaking, the sun begins in the constellation of [[Gemini (constellation)|Gemini]] and ends in the constellation of [[Cancer (constellation)|Cancer]]. In the Northern hemisphere: * ''[[Dog days]]'' begin in early July, when the hot sultry weather of summer usually starts. * ''[[Summer school]]'' is under way for many students. * ''[[Lamb and mutton#Classifications| Spring lambs]]'', born in late winter or early spring, are usually sold before July 1st. July was renamed for [[Julius Caesar]], who was born in that month. Previously, it was called ''[[Quintilis]]'' in [[Latin]], since it was the fifth month in the ancient [[Roman calendar]], before January became the first month of the calendar year (the year when displayed as twelve months in order) during the time of the [[decemvirs]] about 450 BC. In the ancient Roman calendar the [[ides]] of July fell on the 15th day of the month.
