About August
August 2027 is the 8th month and has 31 days. The first day is a Sunday and the last a Tuesday, so Mon, Tue, Sun occur five times in the month.
August was renamed in 8 BC to honour the emperor Augustus. It has 31 days.
It is the last full month of summer in the north, and the end of winter in the south.
The star sign line for the month reads: Leo runs to August 22. Virgo begins on August 23.
Star signs follow the usual western calendar. Dates can differ by a day in some sources, so check your own sign if your birthday is near a boundary.
We measure the days until the first of the month, which finish the day before it begins. Today is left out, so the number falls by one each midnight.
Planning ahead for August
A month is the usual unit for budgets. The days until August tell you how long this month's money has to last.
The tile for work days covers weekdays up to the end of the month before August. Take off any holiday your workplace observes.
Pick your weekday in the tiles to see how many of them remain before August begins.
Check the grid for a birthday, trip or appointment in August. It shows days from today for each date.
Tip: if August brings a deadline, work back from the first of the month and set weekly goals.
The page measures to the first day of August. A deadline at month end needs the longer count in the FAQ.
Think about the last week before August. Many people clear their inbox, pay bills and tidy their plans in those days, so the final count is a useful cue.
Holidays shape the month for many people. Check the holiday table before you book time off, since a long weekend can stretch a short break.
The numbers here use the calendar and ignore time of day. A day counts as a whole once midnight passes in your own time zone.
Pair the countdown with a to-do list. Each day that passes brings August closer, and each finished task makes the date less stressful.
Use the weekday tiles for routines. They show how many of each day remain, which suits classes, shifts and chores before August.
