Common year starting on Wednesday

A common year starting on Wednesday is any non-leap year (a year with 365 days) that begins on Wednesday, January 1, and ends on Wednesday, December 31. Its dominical letter hence is E. The most recent year of such kind was 2025, and the next one will be 2031, or, likewise, 2026 and 2037 in the obsolete Julian calendar, see below for more. This common year is one of the three possible common years in which a century year can begin on, and occurs in century years that yield a remainder of 200 when divided by 400. The most recent such year was 1800, and the next one will be 2200.

Any common year that starts on Wednesday has only one Friday the 13th: the only one in this common year occurs in June. Leap years starting on Tuesday share this characteristic.

Any common year that starts on Wednesday has two Saturday the 13ths: those two in this common year occur in September and December. Leap years starting on Tuesday share this characteristic. From July of the year preceding this year until September in this type of year is the longest period (14 months) that occurs without a Saturday the 13th. Leap years starting on Sunday share this characteristic, from August of the common year that precedes it to October in that type of year.

This year has four months (February, March, June and November) which begin on a weekend-day.
