About February 2028

Every fourth year (with a few carefully defined exceptions), February gains an extra day, growing from 28 to 29 — the entire mechanism the Gregorian calendar uses to keep the civil year roughly synced with the true solar year of about 365.2422 days. The month's name goes back to Februa, an ancient Roman purification festival, from a time when February capped off the Roman year rather than sitting second in line. Amethyst serves as its traditional birthstone and the violet and primrose as its birth flowers, while the zodiac transitions from Aquarius to Pisces roughly midway through, generally between the 18th and 19th depending on the year in question.

Retailers see a reliable seasonal bump in February tied specifically to Valentine's Day, concentrated in the back half of the month.

February's short length makes it a common reference point in date-math discussions specifically because it's the only month whose day count genuinely varies year to year.
