All these months were the original names of months on the Roman calendar.
January is a form of Janus (an ancient Roman god of doorways, of beginnings), which was gradually Latinized by c.1400, was the sacred month of the beginning of the year.
February was the last month of the ancient Roman calendar, so named in reference to the Roman feast of purification, held on the ides of the month.
In Britain, it replaced Old English 'solmona' or "mud month." English first (c.1200) borrowed it from O.Fr. Feverier, before a respelling to conform to Latin.
August was from Latin Augustus, sixth month of the Roman calendar, named for emperor Augustus Cesar, and came to the English language in 1097.
October was the eighth month of the early Roman year. From Latin 'octo' meaning eight.
Used in the English language before 1050.

None of them have exactly 30 days, but then there are others that also fit that criteria (March, May, July, and December).
