Not sure without looking the dates on the archive. It was the same day of year as when it was destroyed by Babylon.

Here is what I found.

Josephus, a secular Jewish historian, witnessed the temple's destruction and observed the temple's burning occurred on the 10th day of the 5th Jewish month.

Josephus also noted that Babylon had burned Solomon's temple on the same date in prior history. Josephus wrote:

"Titus retired into the tower of Antonia, and resolved to storm the temple the next day, early in the morning, with his whole army, and to encamp round about the holy house; but, as for that house, God had for certain long ago doomed it to the fire; and now that fatal day was come, according to the revolution of ages; it was the tenth day of the month Lous [Av], upon which it was formerly burnt by the king of Babylon."(1)

This makes it two months before the Feast of trumpets which started the three part feast of tabernacles.

Sorry to make you look I had a thought when I read this thread but it does not seem to have panned out lol
Thanks for checking though
God Bless
