“July is the peak of summer, the middle of the year,” so the people say about this month. And indeed, at this time summer reaches its peak, and then begins to wane. July is the hottest month of the year. The sun mercilessly scorches and dries everything.
July got its name in honor of Julius Caesar. The ancient Russian names for this month are thunderer, heat-maker, harvest month, and cherven. The Kyrgyz call it teke.
