With coreutils GNU date:

Code:
date +%b --date '+1 month'

for cal that supports -3 option
Code:
cal -3 |awk 'NR==1{print substr($5,1,3)}'

for systems without GNU date
Code:
date "+%b" | awk 'BEGIN{
 m["Jan"]="Feb"
 m["Feb"]="Mar"
 m["Mar"]="Apr"
 m["Apr"]="May"
 m["May"]="Jun"
 m["Jun"]="Jul"
 m["Jul"]="Aug"
 m["Aug"]="Sep"
 m["Sep"]="Oct"
 m["Oct"]="Nov"
 m["Nov"]="Dec"
 m["Dec"]="Jan"
}
{print m[$0]}
'
