Many are looking forward to the arrival of summer with its bright and warm nights, fragrant aromas of the first berries and June flowers on sultry days. With the opportunity to enjoy socializing at a picnic and relaxing by the sea or by the fire. It is not for nothing that June is associated with pleasure, relaxation, and celebration. But at the same time, June is a time full of field and garden work, collecting forest gifts and field herbs, household and construction chores. It is so different and contradictory - the month of June. It is with its characteristics and traditions that many folk signs for June are associated.

Monthsword: what is the name of the first summer month

The usual modern name “June” received back in the days of ancient Rome. The most common version connects his name with the Roman goddess Juno, wife of Jupiter.

It was she who was considered the patroness of family relationships and marriage, femininity and birth. It's not for nothing that June is considered one of them. According to another version, the name of June is associated with the Latin word iuniores, which means “time of young people.”

There is also an opinion that the Romans named June in honor of their consul Lucius Junius Brutus. It was the Latin name that took root among many peoples of Europe. No less interesting are the historical and folk names of the beginning of summer.

Izok was the name of the month in ancient Rus', even before the adoption of Christianity.

It received such an unusual name thanks to the irrepressible chirping of grasshoppers at this time. After all, the word “izok” itself means “grasshopper” in ancient Slavic.

In some regions, the month of the beginning of summer was called skopid, svezar, multi-colored, grain-growing.

Kesäkuu or the summer month is called June by the Finns. The word itself comes from the name of a fallow field that was plowed in June.

Cherven among the Little Russians and Ukrainians, cherven among the Belarusians, czerwiec among the Poles, červen among the Czechs. June received this nickname in connection with the collection of worms that gain red pigment.

Croatians call June lipanj – the month of linden blossoms.

Turks and Syrians – Haziran, which means hot, hot.

Signs of June: features of the first summer month

We usually consider June to be the beginning of summer. Indeed, the calendar summer begins on June 1. But according to popular belief, the start of summer is considered the day when the rose hips bloom, which most often falls on June 6th.

Phenologists believe that summer begins from the moment the viburnum blooms - June 13th. Astrologers tie the summer start to the solstice - June 22.

It is with the summer solstice that many folk signs of June, July and August are associated. Until this day, the days become longer and longer, and the shortest night is called the passerine night.

In June dawn meets dawn

In June a day is a year

The nights are short, but quite warm.

In June, every bush will let you spend the night

Precipitation at the beginning of summer is very rare. And if there is rain, it is usually rapid with thunderstorms and even hail.

June is rich in thunderstorms

Signs of June about the harvest

According to folk signs, the month is divided into two parts. Until the 10th - the beginning. This time is devoted to finishing the sowing work. You need to have time to sow zucchini and cucumbers, legumes and corn. After all, very soon dry days will come and the young shoots will simply die, and the seedlings will not produce a good harvest.

June has come - no matter what you do, no matter what you do

Besides, the common people are hungry for the first berries. The reserves have long been exhausted, and the first harvests are still far away. It’s hard to survive on greens and berries, but you have to work.

June – empty bins

In June there is little food, but life is fun: flowers bloom, nightingales sing

But on the 11th the real summer begins. And not a day is left for fun.

Spends June at work, discourages dancing

June has arrived - don't give a damn about fishing

Only the planting of buckwheat was postponed until June 28. On this day it was sown for a good harvest. Weeding, watering, fertilizing - all these works fall precisely in June, and the future harvest largely depends on them.

June 18 was considered a special day. It was always dedicated to weeding beds and flower beds. According to the signs, such work gave excellent results and the weeds no longer grew in these places.

Summer day - for a winter week

Summer is a storehouse; it provides food for the whole year for the livestock and for the yard.

The first preparations began. These are, first of all, forest and garden berries.

In June, the first berry is placed in the mouth, and the second is carried home

And by the end of the month, haymaking began.

May creates bread, and June creates hay

As is the summer, so is the hay

And even the weather itself suggested what kind of harvest to expect this year. A good harvest was worth waiting for if the trees were strewn with young cones. Warm June nights and frequent thunderstorms promised the same result from summer labors. We were very afraid of return frosts, which occurred until June 10. They are destructive to plants and crops.

Signs of June for children and adults about the weather

Most June signs are associated with short-term weather forecasts. The immediate plans of the peasants largely depended on them.

We monitored changes in nature to find out whether it would rain.

Dew weighs on the tips of the blades of grass - predicting rain soon

Sticky drops on chestnut leaves - torrential rain

Leaves are falling from the trees on a dry hike - it will rain

When it rains, the sun's rays break through the clouds - tomorrow it will rain again

The duration of rain was determined by the appearance of droplets during rain. The larger the drops, the shorter the rain. But large bubbles in the puddles foreshadowed prolonged precipitation. The sky is overcast, look at the plants.

Buttercup flowers are open - don't wait for rain

Drooping potato flowers promise soon rain

Major bad weather can also be predicted by weather signs.

Red - for heat and wind

Rainbow in the evening - good weather

In the morning - to precipitation

Folk signs about animals

The behavior of animals, both domestic and wild, can tell us a lot. The main thing is to be able to observe them and know what signs correspond to a particular case.

You should expect good weather soon in June when:

In the evenings, swallows circle high, and midges and mosquitoes rise in a column

Herons scream protractedly in flight

River fish splashes at the surface of the water before the evening dawn

Dung beetles fly over the paths

Grasshoppers chirp long and loudly in the evening

Spiders weave long and wide threads

The finches sing loudly

Larks sing loudly and hover in the sky

Bees fly out of the hives early

But some signs clearly promise imminent rain.

Crickets are silent in June - it will rain tomorrow

Sparrows bathe in dust in the morning - it will rain by lunchtime

Swallows fly low - foreseeing rain soon

Pets greedily eat grass in the evening, but don’t drink - it’s guaranteed to rain tomorrow

It is the behavior of domestic animals that tells us about many upcoming weather changes. Observe the horses' behavior.

The mare wheezes - to bad weather

Lies on the ground - to drought

The foal spends time on the ground - be it rain

You can learn even more about weather conditions by looking closely at the behavior of cows and sheep.

The cow hurries into the stall and shakes her hind leg - it’s getting colder

The oxen roll their tails into rings and throw them on their backs - there will be a strong wind

Sheep gather together and bleat - bad weather

Pigs are itching - for warmth

The pig squeals - be in bad weather

A pig carries straw - to light rain.

June is also rich in signs of everyday life. Some of them tell you how to carry out gardening work, while others are directly related to behavior in everyday life.

The most interesting of these June signs:

It’s a bad omen to put away warm winter clothes before June

Folk signs for June 22, the longest day of the year, connect all work with the coming of summer:

In June the day never fades

Kirill has strength from the earth

The Roman poet Ovid suggested that June was named after the first Roman consul, Lucius Junius Brutus.

There is another version of the name of the month, according to which the word “junior” means “young”, “younger”. June was also called isok. Izok is a grasshopper, and there are a lot of them in June.

June holidays: June, however, like any other month, is rich in dates.

June 1st One of the oldest international holidays is celebrated - International Children's Day. It was founded in Geneva in 1925 at the World Conference on the Welfare of Children. This holiday is important for all parents. Just wondering, do any of you congratulate your children?

June 5- World Environment Day. This day once again reminds all inhabitants of our planet that we must take nature into account. After all, our life depends on the environment. And it is in recent years that we have begun to feel the impact of ecology.

A significant place among the dates is occupied by Pushkin Day, which is celebrated June 6. This holiday became official in 1997, when the president signed a corresponding decree. I am sure there is not a single person who does not know this name, the name of the greatest playwright, poet A.S. Pushkin, whose name has entered the history of Russia in golden letters. Alexander Sergeevich raised a simple Russian word to an unattainable height, made the Russian language perfect and brought it global significance. Even during Pushkin’s life, Gogol said about him: “Pushkin is an extraordinary phenomenon and, perhaps, the only manifestation of the Russian spirit: this is the Russian man in his development, in which he may appear in 200 years.”

On June 11, St. Isaac's Cathedral was consecrated. The most beautiful building of Auguste Ricard de Montferrand, without which we can no longer imagine the appearance of St. Petersburg. The history of St. Isaac's Cathedral, an outstanding architectural monument, is interesting and unusual. Peter the Great began to build it, and Nicholas 1 finished it. The cathedral took 40 years to build, its height is 101 meters, its weight is 114 tons. 112 monolithic columns surround St. Isaac's Cathedral. The interior decoration includes numerous works of painting, mosaics, sculpture, in total more than 150 works of monumental painting. Among them are works by such recognized and outstanding painters as Vasily Shebuev, Fyodor Bruni, Karl Bryullov.

There is one holiday in June, a red date on the calendar, 12 June- Russia Day. It has been celebrated annually since 1992 and is not a working day. Hooray.

June 13 construction began on the great Siberian route - the Trans-Siberian railway. This is one of the largest railway lines on the entire planet - 9300 kilometers! This highway connects the Far East with the European part of Russia.

22nd of June the saddest date in the history of our country. On this day, or rather morning, the Soviet Union was attacked by Nazi troops. On June 22, 1941, the bloodiest war began, which lasted 1,418 days. And all these long days and nights, the entire people gave all their strength to defend the very existence of our state. The victory came at a high price. More than 20 million dead, more than a hundred cities destroyed but unconquered. Thousands of villages lying in ruins. Every year, on June 22, we remember those terrible years of war, deprivation and devastation.

A June 24, 1945 The first Victory Parade took place in Moscow. And this is also a memorable and significant date in our history. Despite everything, we were able to win an unconditional victory. And in order to consolidate the Victory, it was decided to hold a Victory Parade on Red Square. On that day, June 24, 1945, the winners of fascism were honored in Moscow. At first, Stalin himself wanted to host the parade, but in the last days he refused this, since he had poor preparation. And he instructed Marshal Zhukov to host the Victory Parade. And the parade was commanded by Marshal Rokossovsky. Approximately 40,000 people took part in that parade. An interesting fact is that those walking in columns clung to each other with their little fingers in order not to lose step and keep the line. A special platform was built on Red Square, onto which they threw 200 captured German banners. After the parade, they were burned, as well as the gloves in which the standard bearers threw German trophies.

These are the holidays in June.

And here are some wonderful poets who wrote poems about summer:

Alexander Pushkin

Oh, summer is red! I would love you
If only it weren't for the heat, the dust, the mosquitoes, and the flies.
You, ruining all your spiritual abilities,
You torture us; like the fields we suffer from drought;
Just to get something to drink and refresh yourself -
We have no other thought, and it’s a pity for the old woman,
And, having seen her off with pancakes and wine,
We are celebrating her funeral with ice cream and ice.

Nikolay Nekrasov

(From the poem “Peasant Children”)

Wow, it’s hot!.. We were picking mushrooms until noon.
They came out of the forest - just towards
A blue ribbon, winding, long,
Meadow river: they jumped off in a crowd,
And brown heads above the desert river,
What porcini mushrooms in a forest clearing!
The river resounded with laughter and howling:
Here a fight is not a fight, a game is not a game...
And the sun beats down on them with the midday heat.
Home, kids! it's time for lunch.
We're back. Everyone has a basket full,
And how many stories! Got caught with a scythe
We caught a hedgehog and got a little lost
And they saw a wolf... oh, what a scary one!

Samuel Marshak

June has arrived.
"June! June!" -
Birds are chirping in the garden.
Just blow on a dandelion -
And it will all fly apart.

Boris Zakhoder

It's all winter...
Where is summer?
Animals, birds!
Waiting for an answer!

Summer, -
The swallow thinks -
Arriving very soon.
Summer needs to hurry,
And it flies like a bird!

Is it arriving? -
The Mole snorted. -
It's crawling underground!
You say
Summer is coming soon?
I don't hope so!

Toptygin grumbled:
- Summer
Sleeping in his den
Somewhere...

The horse neighed:
-Where is the carriage?
I'm now
I'll deliver summer!

Summer, -
The hares told me, -
He gets on the train at the station,
Because maybe it's summer
Ride like a hare -
Without a ticket!

Fedor Tyutchev

Already a hot ball of the sun
The earth rolled off its head,
And peaceful evening fire
The sea wave swallowed me up.

The bright stars have already risen
And gravitating over us
The vault of heaven has been lifted
With your wet heads.

The river of air is fuller
Flows between heaven and earth,
The chest breathes easier and more freely,
Freed from the heat.

And a sweet thrill, like a stream,
Nature ran through my veins,
How hot are her legs?
The spring waters have touched.

June- the first month of summer. People say: “May is joy, and June is happiness.” The school year ends, children go on vacation, and the time for vacations and outdoor recreation begins. June has the longest day and shortest night of the year. People also call this month “wormwood”, from the name of the dye worms that appear during this period, or “grain growth”, since nature is fragrant, trees and plants are blooming everywhere, and rye is sprouting. The first berries are ripening, mushrooms are appearing in the forest. We have received many folk signs of June that help us find out the weather for the coming days and what harvest to expect this year.

Warmed up...

Spring has departed. It's the month of June - the beginning of summer. The month of flowers, chicks and bright nights, the crown of spring.

The Old Russian name for the month of June is “cherven” - the red month. It was named so because from ancient times at this time they collected an insect - a mealybug - from the roots of the rake to obtain red paint. The month of June in Ancient Rus' was also called izok - that’s what the grasshopper was called then. From the warm grasses the chatter of grasshoppers can be heard with might and main.

The Romans called the fourth month of the year “Junius” - named after Jupiter’s wife, Juno, the patroness of women.

The average monthly temperature in Russia in June is 16-18 degrees, the highest temperature in some years, usually in the third decade, reaches 36-38 degrees Celsius (1957 and 1975). Sometimes the invasion of cold air from the Arctic in the first ten days of June is accompanied by a drop in temperature at night to 2-4 degrees below zero, which was observed in 1950, 1954, 1958, 1967, 1969, 1971.

Monthly precipitation in the month of June is 45-55 mm.

In the folk calendar, June 2 is borage day, when cucumbers are planted. June 11 - bread is eared, after June 12 beans are planted.

June 22 - the end of spring, the beginning of summer. Gives all its strength to the sun. It's time to stock up on hay! The first scythe does not fail - the hay is the best.

Summer is heating up. The forest is lush green. The view of lindens, birches, maples, and mighty oaks is majestic. A full leaf on giant oak trees appears only in the month of June. In the forest, forest bells - lilies of the valley - are blooming, strawberries are blooming, and strawberries are blooming along the ravines. Dandelions, daisies, bluebells, yarrow, oak grass or popularly Ivan-da-Marya, cornflowers, carnations, ranunculus, celandine are blooming, St. John's wort is blooming. Some of the dandelions have already faded and their fluff balls can be seen here and there; The wind will blow and numerous seeds will fly through the air, like small light parachutes. Blue cornflower, chamomile, common yarrow, lily of the valley, St. John's wort, celandine - all these are medicinal plants. Bluebells are subject to full protection: broad-leaved and peach-leaved, they cannot be taken.

Pine blossoms in the forests in early June. Honey-bearing viburnum is blooming, and raspberries are blooming in clearings, forest edges and along roads.

In the gardens, golden currants, an ordinary Irga, a bird cherry, the Siberian hawthorn, the cherry of the steppe, the ordinary lilac, the yellow acacia, the spirea is vyazolite, the honeysuckle of the Tatar, the Barberis, Ryabin, the Hungarian lilac, was decorated with punch and pink flowers, and later white, tender petals blossomed. will throw away the jasmine.

The white boil of apple, pear and cherry trees is gradually subsiding.

In the fields and wastelands, quails incessantly shout “it’s time to sleep,” and in the meadow lowlands the corncrakes creak all night long. Knightly fights among sandpipers continue, and snipe lambs are also mating. Wood grouse, koschi, and drakes huddle in the support to molt.

The rye is already in ear and blooming. They dusted the poplars with fluff, generously scattering their light, fluffy seeds far around. They could be seen as snow rolls on the paths and uneven ground.

The first spike mushrooms appeared in the birch groves. These are young boletus mushrooms. Boletus has appeared in low pine plantings. Along with the boletus mushrooms, the first russulas are also found. There are about 60 species of russula in our forests and all of them are edible. Green, pink, purple, dark red, blue-violet, deep blue, purple-red, all colors and shades of colors of the caps of these mushrooms and you can’t list how many there are and how elegant they are. Mushroom pickers always enjoy collecting multi-flowered russula, they taste wonderful, they can be salted and fried. Only excessive fragility reduces their value. Mushroom pickers consider green russula to be the best: they are thicker, as they say, meatier, and break less than others. In old forests you can also find the first porcini mushrooms. In the pastures and along the edges of the meadow you can collect meadow mushrooms (meadow mushrooms), they are boiled and fried. They often form circles - “witch rings”. These are all mushrooms of the first layer, there are still few of them and this mushroom “layer” soon disappears. Inveterate lovers of “quiet hunting” say: “The real mushroom has not come yet, the real mushroom will come in August.”

How colorful are the meadow herbs this month! At the beginning of the month of June, the meadow turns blue from the abundance of forget-me-not flowers, then the meadow turns purple - meadow sage has bloomed, and now it is already white - daisies are blooming. Meadows become especially fragrant when red wild clover, lilac-blue bells, red meadow cornflowers and other honey plants bloom.

Flowers are children of the sun, mushrooms are children of shadow.

A number of birds - rooks, thrushes, starlings, buntings and finches - already have large chicks and parents have to “work” a lot to feed their voracious offspring. Some birds are still busy hatching their chicks, others have just hatched. During the period of feeding the chicks, only one pair of small insectivorous birds destroys several tens of thousands of harmful insects. A tit, for example, eats as many insects per day as it weighs. Often their “working day” lasts from dawn until dark. So, in summer, a starling works seventeen hours a day, a city swallow - eighteen, a swift - nineteen, and a redstart - more than twenty! For example, swifts should bring food at least thirty-five times a day, starlings - about two hundred, spotted woodpeckers - up to three hundred, swallows - three hundred, nuthatch - about three hundred and eighty, redstarts - over four hundred and fifty, and gray flycatchers - almost five hundred times a day. day. And birds don’t bring one fly or mosquito at a time. A swift immediately brings more than two hundred insects in its beak - after all, the chick's daily diet far exceeds the weight of the chick itself. Thanks to such gluttony, the chick increases its weight by 5-6 times in a week.

The color and color of eggs can tell a lot. It is known that hollow-nesting birds have light-colored eggs. Clutches of waders, gulls, nightjars and all those who lay eggs directly on the ground would not survive if they were not the same color as the ground on which they lie. Forest pipits make nests from the stems of dry cereals, hair, and less often moss, usually in a depression in the soil, under the cover of dried grass and branches.

These birds have an amazing variety of egg colors, but they are all speckled, ranging from brownish-gray to pinkish-brown.

June is the month of formation of young birds. The forest at this time needs absolute silence so as not to prevent the feathered parents from raising their pets on the wing.

The evening air is silently permeated with bats, which have fluttered out of their dark shelter in search of insects. Scientists have found that these animals make sounds in flight with a frequency of about 50 thousand vibrations per second, and each one lasts less than five thousandths of a second. This is the so-called ultrasound. The bat's ear registers this when the sound it emits bounces off an obstacle. With the help of echo location, they not only perfectly navigate in space, but also hunt for nocturnal insects and feed. Using a sound-converting device, Moscow zoologists recorded ultrasonic signals from bats and turned them into low-frequency signals audible to humans. It turned out that the calls of some bats, for example, rufous noctules, resemble the abrupt barking of dogs, and the calls of pipistrelle bats resemble a kind of rumbling.

Animals also have a lot of parental concerns. It is also time for them to raise their young - moose, wolves, foxes, badgers and other animals, and hares have their second litter. Bear weddings have begun: the roar of bears can be heard, and sometimes fierce fights break out between males.

Listen to the cheerful singing - the friendly croaking of green frogs - lake and pond. First one begins to sing, then the other, and now a combined choir sounds among the sedges and coastal vegetation. The soloists look very funny. They are serious and full of dignity. The mother-of-pearl throat swells importantly and solemnly. The voices of frogs and toads are strictly species-specific and diverse. This is primarily due to the main function of the voice - to invite on a date.

He loves to bask in the sun or swim in the water with his head out. Many people think of snakes as poisonous snakes, but this is not true. And you can distinguish them from a viper quite simply: by the yellow spots located on the sides of the head. Snakes feed on mice, shrews, frogs, and insects.

In damp places a viviparous lizard is found. She, like all reptiles with an unstable body temperature, loves to bask in the sun. The sand lizard is more brightly colored. The male of this species is bright green with small dark spots and stripes. Lives mainly in pine forests, feeds on butterflies, caterpillars and other small insects. In June, the lizard lays up to 13 eggs in the sand, warmed by the sun.

In the evenings, you can see a slowly moving toad on the grass or near the road. During the day she hides in the shade from the sun, and at dusk she hunts for insects, bringing great benefit. On warm summer evenings there is an intensified flight of insects.

The month of June has the longest days of the year. People say at this time: “Dawn meets dawn” or “Dawn gives hand to dawn.” The evening dawn has barely burned out when a new one is already dawning in the east. June 22 is the summer solstice. At noon the sun is at its highest position. According to the astronomical calendar, the summer solstice is considered the beginning of summer. At the end of the month, the days will gradually begin to wane. “The sun is for winter, and summer is for heat,” people say.

With warming, all aquatic plants, especially elodea, grow rapidly in reservoirs; standing waters are completely covered with a light green carpet of duckweed.

Tench spawn, and carp spawn in the ponds. Minnow spawning continues.

Hunting is prohibited; amateur fishermen fish with summer fishing rods.

In the fields, collective farmers carry out harrowing of crops, which destroys weed seedlings, retains moisture in the soil, irrigate long-term cultivated pastures, and plant potatoes in vegetable gardens. “Bad grass, get out of the field!” “Reclamation Day” is celebrated on the first Sunday in June.
