There are four 5th Wednesdays in 2027: March 31, June 30, September 29, and December 29.
2027 starts on a Friday and is not a leap year, so it has 52 Wednesdays in total. Four months stretch long enough to fit a fifth one.
All 5th Wednesdays in 2027
| Month | Wednesdays in the month | 5th Wednesday |
|---|---|---|
| March | 3, 10, 17, 24, 31 | March 31 |
| June | 2, 9, 16, 23, 30 | June 30 |
| September | 1, 8, 15, 22, 29 | September 29 |
| December | 1, 8, 15, 22, 29 | December 29 |
The other eight months have exactly four Wednesdays.
Why These Four Months?
A month gets a 5th Wednesday only when its first Wednesday falls on the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd. That depends on the weekday the month starts on:
- 30-day months (June, September) need to start on a Tuesday or Wednesday.
- 31-day months (March, December) need to start on a Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday.
- February has 28 days in 2027, so it can never have a fifth.
In 2027, March starts on a Monday, June on a Tuesday, and September and December on Wednesdays.
Summary
2027 has 4 months with a 5th Wednesday: March, June, September, and December.
