August 2027 calendar details: first day, weekends and week numbers
The facts below come from the same date engine that draws the calendar, so they always agree with the grid.
- 31 daysSun 1 – Tue 31 Aug
- 9 weekend days4 Saturdays, 5 Sundays
- 22 weekdaysMon–Fri working days
- ISO weeks 30–35Week 31 starts 2 Aug

The shape of August 2027
August 2027 begins on a Sunday and finishes on a Tuesday. That split leaves 4 Saturdays, 5 Sundays and 22 weekdays, with Mondays and Tuesdays each appearing five times. Because the 1st is a Sunday, a Monday-first sheet needs 6 rows (the first holds a single date and the last only 30 and 31), while a Sunday-first sheet fits neatly into 5.
July 2027 ends on a Saturday, so nothing is carried over from the previous month. The zodiac moves from Leo to Virgo on 23 August, and the ISO calendar runs from week 30 (which holds Sunday 1 August) to week 35 (Monday 30 and Tuesday 31 August).
Two new moons land inside the month, on 2 and 31 August, and the first coincides with a total solar eclipse. See the eclipse and moon sections further down.
August 2027 moon phases and moon dates
Two new moons bracket the month: 2 Aug (eclipse) and 31 Aug, with the Sturgeon full moon on Tue 17 Aug (UTC).
| Phase | UTC | India (IST) |
|---|---|---|
| New Moon · total solar eclipse | Mon 2 Aug, 10:05 | Mon 2 Aug, 15:35 |
| First Quarter | Mon 9 Aug, 04:54 | Mon 9 Aug, 10:24 |
| Full Moon (Sturgeon Moon) | Tue 17 Aug, 07:29 | Tue 17 Aug, 12:59 |
| Last Quarter | Wed 25 Aug, 02:28 | Wed 25 Aug, 07:58 |
| New Moon (second of the month) | Tue 31 Aug, 17:41 | Tue 31 Aug, 23:11 |
Only new and full moons are drawn on the printable grid. In US Pacific time (UTC−8) the full moon slips back to Mon 16 Aug at 23:29, while in China, Japan and Australia East the second new moon is already 1 September, so its icon leaves the August sheet. Select a region under Moon dates in time zone and every icon shifts to the local calendar date.
August public holidays by country, 2027–2030
Fourteen countries and territories are listed for August 2027, 2028, 2029 and 2030. Choose one under Holidays (2027–2030) in the maker and its dates print on the calendar in small coloured type, red unless you pick another shade.
| Country | Dates | Holiday |
|---|---|---|
| Australia | Mon 2 Aug | Picnic Day (Northern Territory) |
| Canada | Mon 2 Aug | Civic / Heritage / BC Day (regional) |
| Hong Kong | — | No public holiday |
| India | Sun 15 Aug Tue 17 Aug Wed 25 Aug | Independence Day Raksha Bandhan Janmashtami |
| Ireland | Mon 2 Aug | August Bank Holiday |
| Malaysia | Sun 15 Aug Mon 16 Aug Tue 24 Aug Tue 31 Aug | Maulidur Rasul Maulidur Rasul (replacement) Melaka Governor’s Birthday (Melaka) National Day (Merdeka) |
| New Zealand | — | No public holiday |
| Philippines | Sat 21 Aug Mon 30 Aug | Ninoy Aquino Day National Heroes Day |

| South Africa | Mon 9 Aug | National Women’s Day |

| United Arab Emirates | Sat 14 Aug | Prophet’s Birthday (tentative) |
| United Kingdom | Mon 2 Aug Mon 30 Aug | Summer Bank Holiday (Scotland) Summer Bank Holiday (England/Wales/NI) |
| United States | Fri 20 Aug | Hawaii Statehood Day (Hawaii only) |
August 2027 has no public holiday in Hong Kong or New Zealand, and none at federal level in the United States, where Hawaii marks Statehood Day on its own. India’s Independence Day and Malaysia’s Maulidur Rasul both fall on Sunday 15 August, which is why Malaysia adds a Monday replacement day in most states. Ireland, Scotland and parts of Canada share a bank or civic holiday on Monday 2 August. Moon-sighting dates such as the UAE Prophet’s Birthday can shift by a day.
August 2027 week numbers: ISO and US / Canada compared
Mid-year weeks are where numbering systems drift furthest apart, so check which one your timetable or payroll follows.
| Dates | ISO 8601 week | US / Canada week |
|---|---|---|
| Sun 1 Aug (week of Mon 26 Jul) | Week 30 | Week 32 (1 Aug) |
| Mon 2 – Sun 8 Aug | Week 31 | Week 32 (2–7 Aug), Week 33 (8 Aug) |
| Mon 9 – Sun 15 Aug | Week 32 | Week 33 (9–14 Aug), Week 34 (15 Aug) |
| Mon 16 – Sun 22 Aug | Week 33 | Week 34 (16–21 Aug), Week 35 (22 Aug) |
| Mon 23 – Sun 29 Aug | Week 34 | Week 35 (23–28 Aug), Week 36 (29 Aug) |
| Mon 30 – Tue 31 Aug | Week 35 | Week 36 (30–31 Aug) |
Counting from week 1, which starts Mon 4 Jan 2027, Monday 2 August is the first day of ISO week 31. Sunday 1 August is the last day of week 30. The US / Canada count runs one to two weeks ahead of ISO at this point because its week 1 begins in late December. Saturday-start and plain 1-2-3 numbering are also available inside the maker.
August 2027 total solar eclipse and night-sky calendar
The headline event of the year arrives on the second day of the month.
Monday 2 August: totality across three continents
A new moon at 10:05 UTC lines up exactly between Earth and the Sun. Greatest eclipse comes at 10:07 UTC, close to Luxor in Egypt, where totality lasts 6 minutes 23 seconds under a path about 258 km wide. The shadow crosses the Strait of Gibraltar and southern Spain (a little over two minutes), then Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Yemen. Much of Europe, Africa and western Asia sees a partial eclipse. It is the longest total solar eclipse on land until 2114.
Watching safely
Use eclipse glasses marked ISO 12312-2 for every partial phase. Only the brief minutes of full totality are safe to view unprotected. Mark your viewing plan on the 2nd with a note and the Travel icon.
- 2 AugNew moon and total solar eclipse.

How to build your blank August 2027 calendar in four steps
Every action happens inside your browser tab, so there is nothing to install and nothing to upload.
- Start with the setup columnConfirm the year, pick a numbering system and a first day of the week, add a weekend tint, tick the moon icons and set the paper size. August has six Monday-first rows, so landscape or “Stretch to page” can help the layout breathe.
- Dress the sheetBrowse the twenty-four templates above the preview and set a font on the right. A rounded face feels relaxed for holiday planning; a mono face suits timetables.
- Tap dates to annotate themA small dialog opens for the chosen day. Add a note, colour the text, tint the cell and attach an icon such as Travel, Birthday or Deadline, then save.
- Output or pass it onDownload a PDF for the printer, a PNG for a slide, a JPG for chat, or hit Print. You can also copy the share link so others see your exact layout.
Print and export tips for a summer page
- Pair the page sizes. Choose the same stock in the maker and the print dialog. A mismatch is the usual reason a border gets cut off.
- Choose PDF for paper. It records the size and orientation you set and prints consistently on any machine, including copy shops.
- Use PNG for slides and itineraries. Thin gridlines and small icons stay sharp when you paste the image into a holiday plan or a school newsletter.
- Use JPG for messaging. It is light enough to send through a family chat or attach to an email without waiting.
- Check the margins. Home printers cannot print to the paper edge. If a line is clipped, set scaling to around 95%.
- Save ink in the heat of summer. Pale templates cost less toner than Midnight Dark, which is best kept for screens, and a flat-lying sheet is easier to pin or laminate for a trip folder.
Choosing a template for your August sheet
All twenty-four designs share one date engine; only colour, type and structure differ.
Classic Print
A bordered title box with the month centred and a clean seven-column grid. The classic hallway-calendar look, and it prints well on A4 or Letter.
Lines
A large, airy “August 2027” on the left and ruled day rows beside it. Plenty of space to jot trip times and school-run notes.
Rainbow
Every weekday column wears its own pastel shade. Children can read it at a glance during the long summer break.
List View
One line per day with the weekday at both ends and weekends tinted. Ideal for holiday itineraries, staff cover and fuel-stop planning.
Elegant
A serif “AUGUST” on one side, the year on the other and a rounded grid below. Landscape puts the notes panel next to the month.
Script
A flowing script month name over a pale oversized year, with a teal header row. The most decorative option for a summer party board.
Classic Black & White
Pure black rules on white. Cheapest on toner, and it photocopies cleanly for a staff-room rota or a noticeboard.
Simple White
The default look: pale gridlines, blue accents and lots of white space. A dependable desk-pad sheet for a quiet summer month.
Ocean Blue
Cool blue washes and a navy grid. It reads like a beach morning, so it suits travel boards and holiday countdowns.
Forest Green
Soft sage tones that match garden notes, harvest plans and plant-watering rotas.
Sunset Peach
Warm cream with burnt orange. It feels like late-summer light, a good match for kitchen walls and family reunion plans.
Lavender
Gentle violet with a firm purple accent. Popular for revision schedules and summer reading logs.
Minimal Gray
Neutral slate on off-white. A discreet choice for an office wall where the calendar should stay quiet.
Black & white collection
Each date sits in its own bordered square, blue on Saturday and red on Sunday, leaving room beneath for short notes.
Boxed Days
Ten monochrome layouts for people who print a lot of pages: Plain, Note Cells, Ledger, Weekend Blocks, Tabs, Lined Notes, Diagonal, Receipt, Certificate and Calligraphy. They suit school-holiday sheets and rotas, and notes, icons, moon phases, holidays and print-fit all work with them.
Everything included on your August 2027 sheet
Turn on only what you need so the printed page stays clear.
Twenty-four working layouts
Fourteen colour and structure designs, from Classic Print, Lines and Rainbow to List View, Elegant, Script and Boxed Days, plus ten black-and-white collection layouts, each with its own structure rather than a recolour of one grid.
Choice of week numbering
ISO 8601, US / Canada (week 1 holds 1 January), the Saturday-start Middle East style, plain 1-2-3 counting or none, plus a separate first-day-of-week control. Mid-year week numbers are counted from the true start of the year.
Moon phase icons with time zones
A filled gold disc marks a full moon and a hollow ring marks a new moon. Eight regions are offered, which matters when the 17 Aug full moon is a time zone away from 16 Aug.
Holidays for 14 countries
Pick a country under Holidays (2027–2030) and its August dates appear in small coloured type on the matching day, in the colour you choose.
Notes, tints and 24 icons
Tap any date to write a short note, colour the text, shade the cell and attach an icon, from Travel and Birthday to Deadline, Gift, Home or Done.
Weekend shading, orientation and share link
One colour for every Saturday and Sunday, portrait or landscape, and a single link that carries your layout, week system and notes through WhatsApp, Gmail, email, X, Facebook or LinkedIn.
Ways people use an August calendar
August is a holiday, harvest and back-to-school month, so a visible paper plan keeps the busy weeks in order.
Back-to-school countdown
Mark the first bell, uniform shopping and supply lists, then use the Deadline icon for the days that cannot slip.
Holiday and trip itineraries
Switch to List View, add flight, hotel and checkout notes day by day, and export a PNG to share with the group.
Eclipse trip planning
Note 2 August with the Travel icon, add flight and viewing-site details to the surrounding days, and keep the moon icons switched on.
Garden and harvest tasks
Tint watering days in green, note picking dates and mark the days to freeze or preserve the crop.
Staff cover rotas
Fill each date with the name of the colleague covering, shade long absences and print the black-and-white template for the staff room.
Festival and family dates
Log Independence Day gatherings, Raksha Bandhan, birthdays and reunions with the Party, Gift and Home icons so the month reads at a glance.
How dates, paper sizes and share links behave
Each note belongs to a calendar date
Notes are filed against a full date such as YYYY-08-17, along with their text colour, cell tint and icon. Swap templates, hide the week column, rotate to landscape or resize the browser and every note stays with its day. The editing dialog sits outside the sheet, so it never shows up in a PDF or image export. Footer text is different: it belongs to the whole sheet and follows you across years.
Weekend colour, paper and orientation
The weekend tint is one stored colour applied as a modifier on the sheet, so it overrides each template’s native weekend look while a note’s own cell colour still wins. The paper menu sets the PDF dimensions and writes a matching @page rule so the browser print dialog opens on the right sheet. Landscape swaps width and height without rotating anything.
What a share link contains
Only the settings that differ from the defaults are turned into JSON, encoded as UTF-8 and written as URL-safe base64 after #s=. The fragment never reaches a server. Opening a link applies it before the first draw, and the moment you edit anything your own browser copy takes over. Reset clears both the stored copy and the fragment in the address bar.
Surprising facts about August
A few things that set this month apart from the other eleven.
- An emperor’s monthIt began as Sextilis, the sixth month of the old March-first year. In 8 BC the Roman Senate renamed it Augustus after the first emperor.
- The borrowed-day myth is falseThe popular tale that Augustus took a day from February so August could match July is a legend. Caesar’s calendar reform had already given Sextilis 31 days.
- Summer here, winter thereIt is the warmest stretch of the year across much of the Northern Hemisphere and the coldest in large parts of the Southern one.
- Three birthstonesPeridot, spinel and sardonyx are all linked to August, and the birth flowers are the gladiolus and the poppy.
- The Sturgeon MoonAlmanac tradition names the August full moon after the sturgeon that were easiest to catch in the big lakes at this time of year.
- Perseids and a cometAround 12–13 August Earth ploughs through dust left by comet Swift–Tuttle, giving the Perseid meteor shower.
- Leo then VirgoThe Sun sits in Leo until 22 August, and Virgo begins on the 23rd.
- A lone weekday startIn a common year such as 2027, no other month begins on the same weekday as August. In a leap year it matches February.

August 2027 calendar: frequently asked questions
Where can I get a free blank printable August 2027 calendar?
Right here. The maker above opens an empty August 2027 sheet that you can print at once or save as a PDF, PNG or JPG. It costs nothing, needs no account and runs inside your browser. Leave every box empty for a clean blank page.
What day does August 2027 start and end on?
It starts on Sunday 1 August and ends on Tuesday 31 August. July 2027 finishes on a Saturday, so August follows straight on with a Sunday.
How many weekends and working days are in August 2027?
There are 9 weekend days: Saturdays on the 7th, 14th, 21st and 28th, and Sundays on the 1st, 8th, 15th, 22nd and 29th. That leaves 22 weekdays from Monday to Friday.
Why does my August 2027 grid show six rows?
Because the 1st is a Sunday, a Monday-first layout puts that single date in its own row and needs a last row for 30 and 31 August. Switch “Week starts on” to Sunday and the month fits in five rows.
Which week numbers fall in August 2027?
Under ISO 8601, Sunday 1 August ends week 30, weeks 31 to 34 start on 2, 9, 16 and 23 August, and week 35 begins on Monday 30 August. In the US / Canada system Sunday 1 August starts week 32 and the month ends in week 36.
When are the moon phases in August 2027?
New moons fall on 2 August at about 10:05 UTC and again on 31 August at about 17:41 UTC. First quarter is 9 August, the Sturgeon full moon is 17 August at about 07:29 UTC, and last quarter is 25 August.
Is there a solar eclipse in August 2027?
Yes. A total solar eclipse occurs on Monday 2 August 2027, with greatest eclipse at about 10:07 UTC near Luxor, Egypt, where totality lasts around 6 minutes 23 seconds. It is total across southern Spain, North Africa and Arabia and partial over a much wider area.
Can I see moon icons on my local date?
Yes. Choose your region under “Moon dates in time zone”. For US Pacific time the full moon moves to Monday 16 August, and for Japan, China or Australia East the second new moon shifts to 1 September.
Can I add public holidays to my August calendar?
Yes. Choose a country under “Holidays (2027–2030)” in the maker. Australia, Canada, Hong Kong, India, Ireland, Malaysia, New Zealand, the Philippines, Singapore, South Africa, St. Helena, the United Arab Emirates, the United Kingdom and the United States are included, and the dates print in small type in the colour you pick.
Which public holidays fall in August 2027?
Monday 2 August is a bank or civic holiday in Ireland, Scotland and parts of Canada. Singapore and South Africa mark Monday 9 August, India celebrates Independence Day on Sunday 15 August, Malaysia observes Maulidur Rasul on the 15th with a replacement day on the 16th, and the English, Welsh and Northern Irish bank holiday is Monday 30 August. Malaysia’s National Day is Tuesday 31 August.
Which of the 14 countries have no public holiday in August?
Hong Kong and New Zealand have none. The United States has no federal holiday this month, although Hawaii marks Statehood Day on the third Friday, and Australia’s only August holiday is Picnic Day in the Northern Territory.
What weekday is 15 August 2027?
Sunday. India’s Independence Day and Malaysia’s Maulidur Rasul both fall on that Sunday this year, and the Assumption of Mary is also observed on 15 August in many Catholic countries.
Which paper size suits an August 2027 planner?
A3 or Tabloid offer the most writing space for a wall. A4 or Letter suit home printers, A5 fits a desk pad and A6 a travel notebook. With six rows on a Monday-first grid, landscape or “Stretch to page” gives the day boxes more room.
How do I write notes on certain dates?
Click or tap a date in the preview. A dialog lets you type a note, colour it, shade the cell and attach one of 24 icons. The dialog never appears in a downloaded file.
How do I save my work, share it or start over?
Everything is saved automatically in your own browser storage and returns when you reopen the page there. The share link copies your template, font, week system, tint and every note without uploading anything. Reset to defaults wipes notes, colours and the share fragment from the address bar.
