How it works
The calendar gives each date a weekday, counted from a fixed start point. The answer is the weekday name for the date you typed.
The calendar used is the standard one in most countries today, so the same date always gives the same weekday.
Worked example
2026-07-04 falls on a Sunday.
Questions
Does it work for dates in the past?
Yes. Any date on the calendar works, as long as you type it as a full date.
Can it find the weekday of a holiday?
Only for the date you type. A holiday that moves each year needs that year's date first.
Why check the weekday before planning?
A date can look right on paper but fall on a day when a venue is closed, so check the weekday before you book.
