Best Answer

In every leap year, every date after the end of February is on the second weekday after the day it was on in the previous year. In regular years, dates are on the next weekday after the day of the week of the corresponding date of the previous year.

That is because the length of a regular calendar year is 52 weeks and one day, and the length of a leap year is 52 weeks and two days. If every year were one day shorter than a regular year (exactly 52 weeks), every date would always be on the same day of the week each year.
