as a curiosity in Portugal we follow the sequence of knuckles and valleys on our joined fists .1st knuckle =January 31days, 2nd valley = Feb 28/29 days, 3rd knuckle=Mar31 days, 4th valley=Apr 30days...(knuckles=31days , valleys=30days or less)

I heard a different ending to that when I was growing up. "Except for February which has four and twenty four until leap year gives it one day more."

30 days have September, April, June, and November all the rest have 31. except February alone. it has 28. 28 is just fine but leap year makes it 29. just a little rhyme i learned in elementary school

Sweet Senior, the question asked which ones have only 30 days. Only 30 days includes four months, at least 30 days would include 11 months.

Player HDRider, you start January on the knuckle of your index finger in your left hand. July lands on your pinky knuckle on your left hand. Then you switch to your right hand. August lands on the knuckle of your index finger and so on...

All you have to remember is the first 2 lines:
"Thirty days has September,
April, June and November."
We all know February has 28.
Everything else has 31.
Keep it simple. 🙃

If you hold your hands with index fingers next to each other, and you start on the pinkie knuckle of your left hand (January), when you get to the index knuckle (July) the next one is the index knuckle on the right hand (August)

Pimpao +, lots of people in the United States do that too. works fine

Pimpao +, seems complicated....
Player HDRider
Pimpao +, The problem is that August falls in a valley and it has 31 days unless I am not understanding you correctly.

I learned the last few lines a little differently too. all the rest have 31, except February in fine, which has 28 in time and each leap year 29!
