No. The fact that this year's Ramadan falls in the midst of the dog days of summer is an effect of the fact that the Islamic calendar, being based on the Moon without solar corrections, is only 354 days long, instead of 365.25. Each year Ramadan occurs earlier in the year so in 17 years or so, it will be in the dead of winter. This does introduce a definite inequity in the amount of discipline required to observe it: going without water for six hours in cool weather is quite a bit easier than doing so for eighteen hours in blistering heat.
The name "Ramadhan" does mean "hot sands", but as stated, the month shifts throughout the years. Similar the month "Rabie3" means "springtime" but it Rabie3 can be in the winter, autumn, or summer (instead of spring), depending on the year.
