I think it's in February because it's the shortest month, and it's the shortest month because it was the last one, with all the remaining days.

The thing I'm not sure about is why some months have 30 days, some 31 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Its the shortest month because it was considered the unluckiest month and they literally wanted it to be over sooner.
