Having only 28 days in common years, February is the only month of the year that can pass without a single [[full moon]]. Using [[Coordinated Universal Time]] as the basis for determining the date and time of a full moon, this last happened in 2018 and will next happen in 2037.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Moon Phases 2018 – Lunar Calendar for London, England, United Kingdom|url=https://www.timeanddate.com/moon/phases/uk/london?year=2018|access-date=2021-08-25|website=www.timeanddate.com|language=en|archive-date=2021-08-29|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210829121541/https://www.timeanddate.com/moon/phases/uk/london?year=2018|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.timeanddate.com/moon/phases/uk/london?year=2037|title=Moon Phases 2037 – Lunar Calendar for London, England, United Kingdom|access-date=2018-03-03|archive-date=2018-03-03|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180303225455/https://www.timeanddate.com/moon/phases/uk/london?year=2037|url-status=live}}</ref> The same is true regarding a [[new moon]]: again using Coordinated Universal Time as the basis, this last happened in 2014 and will next happen in 2033.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.timeanddate.com/moon/phases/uk/london?year=2014|title=Moon Phases 2014 – Lunar Calendar for London, England, United Kingdom|access-date=2017-10-26|archive-date=2017-10-26|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171026213659/https://www.timeanddate.com/moon/phases/uk/london?year=2014|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.timeanddate.com/moon/phases/uk/london?year=2033|title=Moon Phases 2033 – Lunar Calendar for London, England, United Kingdom|access-date=2017-10-26|archive-date=2017-10-26|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171026163025/https://www.timeanddate.com/moon/phases/uk/london?year=2033|url-status=live}}</ref>

February is also the only month of the calendar that, at intervals alternating between one of six years and two of eleven years, has exactly four full 7-day [[week]]s. In countries that start their week on a Monday, it occurs as part of a [[common year starting on Friday]], in which February 1st is a Monday and the 28th is a Sunday; the most recent occurrence was [[2021]], and the next one will be [[2027]]. In countries that start their week on a Sunday, it occurs in a [[common year starting on Thursday]]; the most recent occurrence was [[2015]] and the next occurrence will be [[2026]]. The pattern is broken by a skipped leap year, but no leap year has been skipped since 1900 and no others will be skipped until 2100.
