When does the dog days of summer begin in 2019?

There are three hot days in a row, each of which lasts for ten days, and this is calculated according to the ten number of the heavenly stems. Therefore, the three dog days are divided into: the third Geng day after the summer solstice is the beginning day of the first dog day.
The date of the beginning of the dog days can be simply expressed by the four-character formula "Summer Solstice Three Gengs", that is, starting from the third "Geng" day after the summer solstice, the first dog days is 10 days, the middle dog days is 10 days or 20 days, and the last dog days is 10 days. The "ganzhi calendar" was popular in ancient my country. The days were recorded in a cycle using 60 different names formed by matching 10 heavenly stems with 12 earthly branches. Any day containing the character Geng is called Geng Day.
2019 Summer Solstice Date: June 21, 2019
The first Geng Day after the summer solstice in 2019 is June 22, 2019 (Geng Yin Day)
The second Geng day after the summer solstice in 2019: July 2, 2019 (Gengzi Day)
The third Geng day after the summer solstice in 2019: July 12, 2019 (Gengxu Day)
Therefore, the first day of the "fu" period this year is July 12, 2019 (Gengxu Day). Because the first dog days lasts for 10 days, this year's first dog days is from July 12th to July 21st.

Does the dog days of summer begin at the summer solstice?

The beginning of the dog days is the third Geng day after the summer solstice. As the 365 days in a year (366 days in a leap year) are not an integer multiple of 10, a Geng day this year may not be a Geng day next year. That is to say, the date of Gengri is variable and not fixed, so the date of the beginning of the dog days is not exactly the same every year, but the date of the beginning of the dog days is always between July 11 and July 21.
