What FACTLY found

It’s common for each day of the week to appear four times in months with atleast 28 or more days, i.e., each and every month. According to”823 Years Myth” the months with five Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays are rare, but they actually occur every year in a 31-day month starting on a Friday. For example, July 2022, December 2023, March 2024 and August 2025 fit this pattern. The myth is a misunderstanding of calendar patterns, and september 2024 is not unique.
