Hello Stefan,

Regards
Uwe

Uwe,

Normally 29th, 30th and 31st of December 2008 are in week 53,
1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th of January 2009 are in week 1.

It is normal to my opinion. 52 weeks are 364 days so there are 1 or 2 additional days. Depending what day of week January 1st is, there are more than 2 days in week 53.

Happy 2009 to you all.

Regards,

unfortunatelly ISO 8601 does not care for 'normal opinions' or 'normal thinking'.

Hi Uwe,

In 2008 there is no 53th week, week 1 of 2009 is correct.

There would be only a 53th week if at least 4 days of the last week are in the old year, beginning on Monday as the first day of the week. If today (31.12.08) would be a Thursday, 2008 would have 53 weeks. It´s very impotant to have in mind that the first day of a week is Monday.

Einen Guten Rutsch in´s Neue Jahr
