About October

October at a Glance

From octo, “eight”: the eighth month of the old Roman calendar. It ends with Halloween on the 31st.

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…”
