Summer:

Months are usually 30 days, except Snowmonth, which is 35 and occasionally 36 when this is called for to make the lunar and solar calendars match up.

Weeks are five days long and named after colors. The standard set is Whiteday, Redday, Yellowday, Greenday, and Blueday, but various locales and subcultures prefer different colors for all days except the standard Whiteday (the most common alternate set is Whiteday, Grayday, Blackday, Brownday, and Silverday).

Mevwan uses the same year-numbers that are given in the early Autokrator's Addresses. This indicates that May 10th was year 1. The year that falls on a given date can be calculated here (enter May 9th as the start date or check the 'include end date' tickybox); the date of a given year can be calculated here (enter May 9th as the start date).
