JS includes from array to momentjs current date

I am wanting true or false return when using includes to see if the current month using moment().format('MMMM') is also in an array.

const splitMonths = ['April', 'May', 'June', 'July', 'August', 'September'];
const currentDate = moment().format('MMMM');
const seasonData = currentDate.includes(splitMonths);
console.log(seasonData);

The above returns false and I cannot understand why.

If I change splitMonths to splitMonths = ['May']; it will return true.

If I run console.log(currentDate) it returns May.

Why isn't this returning true?

You are checking array existence within the string currentDate.includes(splitMonths);. Instead it should be splitMonths.includes(currentDate);

const splitMonths = ['April', 'May', 'June', 'July', 'August', 'September'];
const month = "May";
const seasonData = splitMonths.includes(month);
console.log(seasonData);
