1936 Calendar

Every month of 1936 as a printable table, with public holidays, ISO week numbers and the year's eclipses, moon phases and meteor showers.

1936 has 366 days, starts on a Wednesday, is a leap year, and runs to 53 ISO weeks. It runs from Wednesday 1 January 1936 to Thursday 31 December 1936. There are 7 United States federal holidays in 1936, and none of them falls at a weekend. Worth knowing: 1936 is a 53-week year under ISO 8601, which is the case that breaks payroll and reporting systems written for 52.

  • Public holiday in the selected country
  • Today
  • Saturday and Sunday
  • ISO 8601 week number

Weeks start on Monday so that the week number in the left gutter applies to the whole row. ISO 8601 defines week 1 as the week containing the first Thursday of the year, which is why 1936 has 53 weeks and why 1 January is not always in week 1.

Meteor showers

Peak nights drift by about a day between years, because the Earth meets each stream at a fixed point in its orbit rather than on a fixed date. What changes the view far more is the Moon, so we compute how much of it is lit on the peak night of 1936.
Peak Shower Rate/hour Moon lit Viewing
3 January 1936 Quadrantids (debris from Asteroid 2003 EH1) 110 75% Bright moon, only the brightest will show
22 April 1936 Lyrids (debris from Comet Thatcher) 18 3% Dark sky, near new moon
6 May 1936 Eta Aquariids (debris from Halley's Comet) 50 100% Bright moon, only the brightest will show
30 July 1936 Southern Delta Aquariids (debris from Comet 96P/Machholz) 25 88% Bright moon, only the brightest will show
12 August 1936 Perseids (debris from Comet Swift-Tuttle) 100 19% Mostly dark
8 October 1936 Draconids (debris from Comet 21P/Giacobini-Zinner) 10 36% Mostly dark
21 October 1936 Orionids (debris from Halley's Comet) 20 34% Mostly dark
5 November 1936 Southern Taurids (debris from Comet Encke) 5 52% Moonlight will wash out fainter meteors
12 November 1936 Northern Taurids (debris from Comet Encke) 5 2% Dark sky, near new moon
17 November 1936 Leonids (debris from Comet Tempel-Tuttle) 15 12% Dark sky, near new moon
14 December 1936 Geminids (debris from Asteroid 3200 Phaethon) 150 1% Dark sky, near new moon

Leap year Yes

ISO weeks 53
Weekend days 104

1936 is a leap year, so February has 29 days. A year is a leap year when it divides by 4, except century years, which must also divide by 400. That is why 1900 was not a leap year and 2000 was. It is also a 53-week year under ISO 8601, which happens roughly every five to six years and regularly breaks payroll and reporting systems that assume 52.

Years you can reuse this calendar for

These years start on the same weekday and have the same February, so the grid above is identical. A 1936 wall calendar hangs again, unchanged, in any of them.
