How August Got Its Name and Its Length
It began as the sixth month, became a tribute to an emperor and picked up a famous myth on the way.
Sextilis, the "sixth" month
On the early Roman year that began in March, this month came sixth, hence Sextilis. Later, when January took the lead, the name stayed even though the number no longer matched.
Caesar stretches it to 31 days
The Julian reform lengthened the short 29-day Sextilis to 31 days, fixing the length still used today.
The Senate renames it for Augustus
Honouring the first emperor, whose major victories and triumphs clustered in this month, the Senate gave Sextilis his title. Augustus became August.
Bank holidays arrive
Britain's 1871 Bank Holidays Act created a first-Monday-in-August day off. A 1971 Act moved England, Wales and Northern Ireland to the last Monday, while Scotland kept the first.
How Other Calendars See August
The Gregorian month you are printing overlaps with very different calendars around the world.
Gregorian
Solar · 365/366 days
The system behind this page: August always has 31 days and lands in late summer in the north and late winter in the south.
Islamic (Hijri)
Lunar · 354/355 days
Roughly 11 days shorter than a solar year, so its months drift through the seasons. In August 2027 the Hijri year 1449 is a couple of months old and Rabi' al-awwal begins around Aug 4.
Chinese
Lunisolar · 353–385 days
Months follow the moon and leap months keep festivals in season. August 2027 falls in the 7th lunar month, associated with the Ghost Festival.
Hindu
Lunisolar · varies by region
August 2027 hosts Raksha Bandhan on Aug 17, at the Shravana full moon, and Janmashtami on Aug 25, both set by lunar rules rather than fixed Gregorian dates.
Persian (Solar Hijri)
Solar · 365/366 days
A solar calendar whose months begin at astronomical markers. Its month of Shahrivar begins on August 23 in 2027.
Ethiopian
Solar · 13 months
Twelve 30-day months plus a short thirteenth. Its new year, Enkutatash, arrives in the Gregorian September, and its year count runs seven to eight years behind ours.
Does August Ever Change Length?
Never. August stays at 31 days in every year, leap or not, and 2027 is a common year anyway.
📅 Common Year (2027)
February has 28 days and August keeps its 31. August 1, 2027 is day 213 of the year.
🗓️ Leap Year
Only February gains a day. In leap years August 1 becomes day 214 rather than 213, so day-of-year numbers shift, not the month itself.
Quick leap-year test
Averaged over 400 years this yields 365.2425 days, very close to the true solar year of about 365.2422.
Getting a Sharp August Printout
Small settings decide whether the page prints crisp or cropped.
🖨️ Five quick steps
- Pick paper size and orientation in the builder before exporting.
- Save the PDF and open it in a PDF reader.
- Press Ctrl + P (Windows) or ⌘ + P (Mac).
- Set scaling to Fit to page and match orientation.
- Check the print preview, especially if you changed paper after exporting.
💡 Extra pointers
- A3 keeps a wall calendar sharp.
- A lighter accent colour with weekend shading off saves ink.
- Use 120–160 gsm paper if it will hang all month.
- PNG suits screens and wallpapers; PDF suits printers.
- A six-row Monday layout gets slightly smaller boxes, so try a Sunday start for larger cells.
Who Prints an August Calendar?

August Trivia Worth Knowing
Six short facts, checked against the 2027 calendar and the sky.
August 2027 begins on a Sunday, so Sundays, Mondays and Tuesdays each appear five times while every other weekday appears four.
The total solar eclipse on August 2, 2027 lasts over six minutes at its peak, among the longest of this century, and crosses Spain, North Africa and the Middle East.
With two new moons (Aug 2 and Aug 31) and one full moon, August 2027 has a rare "dark" bookend on both sides of its only full moon.
July and August are back-to-back 31-day months, and the only other such pair is December and January.
The Perseid meteor shower comes from dust shed by comet Swift–Tuttle, which returns roughly every 133 years. Bright moonlight will dim the 2027 peak.
ISO week 30 straddles July and August: Monday, July 26 to Sunday, August 1, so the 1st belongs to a week mostly spent in July.
August Myths, Sorted Out
A few popular claims that do not hold up.
Augustus took a day from February to make August 31 days long.
Roman sources point the other way: Caesar's earlier reform had already given the month 31 days. The story was popularised centuries later.
August is the hottest month everywhere.
Only in parts of the north. South of the equator it is late winter, and in monsoon regions cloud cover keeps peak heat in spring.
A total solar eclipse can be seen from anywhere on the sunny side of Earth.
Totality follows a narrow path a few hundred kilometres wide. Everyone else sees a partial eclipse or none at all.
Shooting stars are stars falling to Earth.
Perseids are tiny grains of comet dust burning up roughly 100 km above the ground. The stars themselves never move.
One Month, Four Different Seasons
Where you live decides whether August means heat, rain or frost.
Late Summer
Northern HemisphereAcross the US, Europe and northern Asia, August brings long evenings, harvest starts and the year's warmest sea temperatures.
Peak Monsoon
South AsiaIndia, Nepal and Bangladesh see some of the year's heaviest rain, driving festivals like Raksha Bandhan and Janmashtami.
Late Winter
Southern HemisphereAustralia, New Zealand, South Africa and Chile are in the coldest stretch, with ski seasons running in the Alps of the south.
Early Spring Hints
Warmer Southern RegionsBy late August, wattle blooms in Australia and lengthening days signal spring is close.
August 2027 Festivals and Events
Six August happenings worth marking. Dates that move year to year are flagged.
Total Solar Eclipse
On August 2 the Moon covers the Sun along a path from the Atlantic to Somalia. Totality lasts over six minutes at its longest point.
Perseid Meteor Shower
