February is the second month of the year in the Julian and Gregorian calendars. The month has 28 days in common years or 29 in leap years, with the 29th day being called the leap day. It is the first of five months to have fewer than 31 days and the only one to have fewer than 30 days. Seven months have 31 days, leaving the four previously mentioned months to have exactly 30 days. This means the other eleven months have at least 30 days.
