    Because traditionally it was the last month of the year.

    If it were 30 days long, the seasons would not stay synchronised with the calendar

    July and August both have 31 days because one roman emperor didn't want the month named after him to be shorter than the one named after another roman emperor.

    7x31  +   5x30  = 367 days

    real year = 365.2425 days
