Any leap year that starts on Monday has only one Friday the 17th: the only one in this leap year occurs in May.
Additionally, this type of year has three months (January, April, and July) beginning exactly on the first day of the week, in areas which Monday is considered the first day of the week, Common years starting on Friday share this characteristic on the months of February, March, and November.
Leap years that begin on Monday, along with those starting on Saturday and Thursday, occur least frequently: 13 out of 97 (≈ 13.402%) total leap years in a 400-year cycle of the Gregorian calendar. Their overall occurrence is thus 3.25% (13 out of 400).
Like all leap year types, the one starting with 1 January on a Monday occurs exactly once in a 28-year cycle in the Julian calendar, i.e. in 3.57% of years. As the Julian calendar repeats after 28 years that means it will also repeat after 700 years, i.e. 25 cycles. The year's position in the cycle is given by the formula ((year + 8) mod 28) + 1).
Daylight saving ends on its latest possible date, April 7 – the period of daylight saving which ends on April 7 of a leap year starting on Monday is the only period ending in any year to last 27 weeks in Australia and 28 weeks in New Zealand; in all other instances, the period of daylight saving lasts only 26 weeks in Australia and 27 weeks in New Zealand
