Common year starting on Wednesday


A common year starting on Wednesday is any non-leap year 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.
This year has four months which begin on a weekend-day.

Julian Calendar

In the now-obsolete Julian calendar, the fourteen types of year repeat in a 28-year cycle. A leap year has two adjoining dominical letters. This sequence occurs exactly once within a cycle, and every common letter thrice.
As the Julian calendar repeats after 28 years that means it will also repeat after 700 years, i.e. 25 cycles. The year's position in the cycle is given by the formula + 1). Years 2, 8 and 19 of the cycle are common years beginning on Wednesday. 2017 is year 10 of the cycle. Approximately 10.71% of all years are common years beginning on Wednesday.
