How we source these
Public holidays are taken from official government sources for each country and cover national holidays only. The United States, Canada and Australia all have significant state and provincial holidays that are not shown, and India’s system of state, optional and restricted holidays means only three days are observed nationwide. Where a government has not yet published a year, we say so rather than guess. Always check the official source for the country concerned rather than relying on this alone.
July 31st through history
The rain begins at Passchendaele
The Third Battle of Ypres opened on July 31st 1917 with an attack on the ridges east of the town. It began to rain that afternoon and, through the wettest August the region had seen in years, did not really stop; the bombardment had destroyed the drainage of ground reclaimed from marsh, and the battlefield turned to liquid. The offensive closed in November with the taking of Passchendaele village.
J. K. Rowling was born at Yate in Gloucestershire on July 31st 1965 and gave Harry Potter the same birthday. The idea arrived on a delayed train from Manchester to King’s Cross in 1990; she had no working pen and was too shy to ask, so she sat and thought for four hours. Several publishers turned it down before Bloomsbury took it.
On July 31st 1971 David Scott and James Irwin became the first people to drive on another world, taking the Lunar Roving Vehicle across Hadley Rille in the lunar Apennines. A Soviet machine had been trundling about the Sea of Rains since the previous November, but nobody had ridden one. It had wire mesh tyres and managed about eight miles an hour downhill.
July 31st is the eve of Lammas, the first English harvest festival, when a loaf baked from the earliest cut wheat was brought to church to be blessed. The name survives in Scots law, where Lammas is still a quarter day.
Born on July 31st: star sign, birthstone and birth flower
J. K. Rowling and Milton Friedman — both named above — share this star sign with everyone else born in the same window.
Star sign
Leo — a Fire sign ruled by the Sun, symbolised by the Lion.
Birthstone
Ruby for July.
Birth flower
Larkspur (primary), also Water Lily — most commonly cited sources agree on larkspur as the main July flower.
None of this is settled fact in the way the history above is — zodiac dates, birthstones and birth flowers are conventions rather than laws, and different sources hedge them slightly differently. The birthstone is the most standardised of the three (set by the trade in 1912 and revised since); the birth flower is the least, resting on Victorian tradition rather than any governing body.

A small, themed starting point rather than a shopping list — ruby for the stone, Leo for the sign, and the sky itself on the day.
