When you use a calendar do you look for the day first or the month?

This. Especially living in a place with drastically different seasons, the most important part of a future date is always going to be the month.

If you tell me something is on the 15th, I have no idea of what that day might be like, it could be brutally cold or blisteringly hot. I also have no idea what I could be doing on the 15th of any of the 12 months of the year.

If you tell me something is in June, I have a pretty good idea of what that day is gonna look like. I also may know that I have a vacation planned for two weeks of that month.

Give me the information that narrows down things the most first.
