There are so many English expressions carrying the names of English months.  Let’s see few of them today.

If you feel that something will never or rarely happen, you can use the expression: “it’ll be a long day in January” or “it will be a cold day in July".

2.I’m sure, he would never come with us to a movie. Once it happens it will be a cold day in July.

2.He’s as mad as a March hare. Keep distance from him now.

Something like rain at the busy hours and extra work on holidays may disturb you, but you have to adjust with it because the result in future will be a fruitful one.  This is what we mean by the English expression “April showers bring May flowers.”
