In what year will the next fifth weekend in February appear.

I know it will have to be a double leap year so it might be a long time but still I need the information or how to use the tools to find it.

A 5th Saturday would do but the whole weekend would be best.

thanks

What do you consider a fifth weekend?  If you consider a weekend to be Saturday and Sunday consecutive, then you can never have five full weekends in February because February never has more than 29 days.

One starting with a Saturday will do.

As I understand it tho eventually even the every 4 year leap year will not be enough to catch us up and there will be a February 30th.  When I don't know.

Thanks in advance.

It was more like a still birth.  I am very sorry for your inconvenience.  I thought that I would be notified when you posted, but I was not.  And since we never really got this forum off the ground, I wasn't following it closely enough to notice your response.

You can use our utility here to list years where February 1 lands on a Saturday:

http://www.calendarhome.com/day2day.html

There will never be a February 30 in the current system.  The way it is now we skip the leap year in years evenly divisible by 100 unless they are evenly divisible by 400 (like the year 2000).  The leap year was skipped in 1600, 1700, and 1800.  It has been pondered that somewhere around the year 4000 we might be off by a whole day, at which point we could simply have a leap year in 4000 where it would otherwise be skipped.

If I'm around to have a say when the time comes, well....  I'll just be happy to still be around  Smiley
