How do you calculate the number of weeks left in the year?
That's an interesting question. Generally week 1 of any year is the first week that contains a Wednesday. This is why some years you can have a week 53. To calculate the number of weeks remaining in the year we therefore count how many more Wednesdays in the current year. A year would have 53 weeks if January 1st falls on a Thursday in a non-leap year, or if January 1st falls on a Wednesday in a leap year. This is because the extra day or two in these cases extends the number of weeks in the year.
How does the ISO Date Standard calculate the week number?
In the ISO system, a year has 53 weeks if the year starts on a Thursday (for a common year) or is a leap year that starts on a Wednesday. This is because the ISO week numbering system considers the first week with the majority (four or more) of its days in the starting year as Week 1 of that year.
