The 301st day of a normal year is October 28th.
Understanding the Day of the Year (DOY) is a system that numbers each day consecutively from January 1st (Day 1) to December 31st (Day 365 or 366 in a leap year). This system is widely used in various fields, including meteorology, agriculture, and environmental science, for precise scheduling and data tracking.
For a standard non-leap year, which comprises 365 days, the progression into October can be precisely charted. The following table illustrates the cumulative day of the year for specific dates in October, highlighting the 301st day:
| Date in October | Day of the Year (DOY) |
|---|---|
| October 26th | 299 |
| October 27th | 300 |
| October 28th | 301 |
As clearly shown, October 28th corresponds to the 301st day when counting from the beginning of a normal year. It's important to distinguish this from a leap year, which occurs every four years and includes an extra day (February 29th). This additional day would incrementally shift the DOY count for all subsequent dates in a leap year. However, for a "normal year," the 301st day consistently falls on October 28th.
