Best Answer

The term normally refers to the months of July, August, and September.

A year is composed of 12 months so the quarters are:

  • First: January - March
  • Second: April - June
  • Third: July - September
  • Fourth: October - December

Because a standard year consists of 365 days, a number that isn't divisible exactly by 4, the convention is to break the year into quarters by counting months (which do divide evenly) rather than days.
