Augustus.

was the eight month of the year.
September, to my mind, is from the latin word

the seventh month of the year.
I dont know any about November. So I think, that
November was the ninth month of the year.

Originally, in ancient Rome it was the tenth
month of the year.
January is named in honor of the god of time
Janus.
So, February is from the latin words

7Julian calendar
Gregorian calendar
Calendar reform implemented Pope Gregory XIII on
the basis of the draft Italian physician and
mathematician Luigi Lilio. The spring equinox
was moved to March 21, in its place. And that
mistake in the future to accumulate, it decided
out of every 400 years, throwing for three days.
Such a system is called the Gregorian, or "new
style". In contrast to her for the Julian
calendar solidified the name "old style"
The reform of the calendar held in 46 BC Roman
high priest, soldier and writer, Gaius Julius
Caesar. The basis of the calendar, later called
Julian, put solar year, the duration of which was
taken to be 365.25 days. But in a calendar year
may be only an integer number of days. Therefore
instructed to take three out of every four years
for 365 days, in the fourth - 366 days.
8Weather in seasons
In the autumn, children go to school, so we see
them upset, but happy faces. The weather is
changeable too, but usually its windy and rains.
Winter ... For children this time of year means
slide, sled and snow. But for adults is ice,
frozen engines and steamy windows.
In the spring the weather is changeable . It
sometimes rain, warm and sunny. People often have
to change the type of clothes.
Summer is time for traveling, so at this time,
the resorts are very crowded. So the weather is
sunny and very hot.
