The month of August is the eighth of the year in the Julian and Gregorian calendars, and the fifth of seven months to have a length of 31 days.
August was originally named Sextilis in Latin because it was the sixth month in the original ten-month Roman calendar under Romulus in 753 BC, with March being the first month of the year.
August or Sextills, whichever you happen to prefer is going to be a humdinger. It does not appear to look like a good month for #USA.
