There are two February in the lunar calendar year, and the second February is a leap February. The frequency of leap February is second only to leap March, and the frequency is moderate around AD 2 1 century, generally once every 19 years (such as 2004 and 2023). Since then, the frequency of leap February has gradually decreased, becoming a rare leap month, which occurs once every century from 25th to 28th century, and there is no leap February in 29th to 30th century, 36th to 38th century and 40th to 44th century.

Therefore, any rumors and behaviors (superstitious activities in rural areas) that "disasters are related to leap months" (such as "February flies") are against science and are not worth refuting.
