Leap year starting on Tuesday

Calendar for any leap year starting on Tuesday


A leap year starting on Tuesday is any year with 366 days (i.e. it includes 29 February) that begins on Tuesday, 1 January, and ends on Wednesday, 31 December. Its dominical letters hence are FE. The most recent year of such kind was 2008 and the next one will be 2036 in the Gregorian calendar[1] or, likewise 2020 and 2048 in the obsolete Julian calendar.

Any leap year that starts on Tuesday, Friday or Saturday has only one Friday the 13th; the only one in this leap year occurs in June. Common years starting on Wednesday share this characteristic.

From August of the common year preceding that year until October in this type of year is also the longest period (14 months) that occurs without a Friday the 17th, as in 2007-08 or 2035-36. Common years starting on Friday share this characteristic, from July of the year that precedes it to September in that type of year.

Julian Calendar

Like all leap year types, the one starting with 1 January on a Tuesday occurs exactly once in a 28-year cycle in the Julian calendar, i.e. in 3.57% of years. 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 ((year + 8) mod 28) + 1).
