The academic year begins in the last week of August, so August 2029 runs from an empty country to a full one inside a fortnight. Uniforms, school buses and the morning run all return at once, and the closing days of the month are the heaviest of the year on the roads at 7 am, well before the heat has done anything at all.
The 31 days of August 2029 contain no holiday fixed to a date, and one lunar holiday in three of the five years covered here. Anyone setting a deadline across this month has to check the year rather than the month, which is the everyday consequence of building a national calendar on crescent sightings.
August 2029 closes with the schools back and the first slow retreat of the humidity ahead of it. September follows with the end of the midday break rule on the 15th, the equinox around the 22nd, and temperatures lower than August managed without yet being comfortable in any useful sense.
