About February
February at a Glance
Named after Februa, a Roman festival of purification held in the middle of the month. It is the only month that changes length: 28 days in a common year and 29 in a leap year.
A quick way to remember month lengths is the knuckle rule: make two fists and count across your knuckles and the gaps between them. Every month that lands on a knuckle has 31 days; every month in a gap has 30, except February. Or use the rhyme: “Thirty days hath September, April, June and November…”
