June is the 6th month of the year and has 30 days. It’s named for Juno, the Roman goddess of marriage — a link that helped make June a traditional wedding month in Western cultures, though the practical reasons (mild weather, gardens in bloom) probably did more of the work. It’s the first of the four 30-day months.
How many days does June have?
Thirty. Only April, June, September, and November are 30-day months; everything else is 31 except February. The months of the year table shows the full split.
What season is June?
June opens summer in the Northern Hemisphere. The summer solstice around June 20–21 is the longest day of the year, after which daylight very slowly begins to shorten again. South of the equator, that same date is the winter solstice and the shortest day.
What quarter is June in?
June closes the second quarter (Q2). For calendar-year businesses it’s a half-year reporting point.

Because February 29 comes earlier in the year, every day in June has a day number one higher in a leap year. To find the day number of any date by hand, add up the days in the months before it and then add the date: June 15 is 151 + 15 = 166 in a common year. The day of the year tool works it out for any date.
