What's popular in November?

November is the eleventh month of the year in the Gregorian Calendar and one of four Gregorian months with the length of 30 days.

The Latin translation of "novem" is nine, for it was originally the ninth month on the Roman calander.

November begins on the same day of the week as March every year and also February except in leap years

In Finnish, November is called marraskuu, meaning "month of the dead"

In Xhosa, November is called ngeyeNkanga, meaning "month of the small yellow daisies"

November in the Northern Hemisphere is the seasonal equivalent to May in the Southern Hemisphere and vice versa

Around November 17, the Leonids meteor shower reaches its peak
