May 2027 calendar details: start day, weekends and week numbers
Start day, weekends, ISO week numbers and moon phases for this May, worked out by the same date code that draws the calendar above.

Reading the May 2027 grid
Count 120 days from 1 January (Friday) to 1 May. That is seventeen full weeks plus one day, which is why May opens on a Saturday. The month then runs 31 days, so the three weekdays that occur five times are Saturday, Sunday and Monday. No other month of 2027 starts on a Saturday, which makes May the only month of the year with a five-Saturday, five-Sunday, five-Monday pattern.
On a Monday-first or Sunday-first sheet the calendar needs six rows: the first row holds only 1 and 2 May (or just the 1st), and the sixth row holds only Monday 31 May. Start the week on Saturday instead and the same month squeezes into five rows with taller date boxes.
2027 is a common year, so nothing in May is shifted by a leap day. Taurus governs the days up to 20 May and Gemini starts on 21 May. Emerald is the traditional May birthstone.
For ISO 8601 numbering, 1 and 2 May still sit in week 17, week 18 begins on Monday 3 May, and Monday 31 May opens week 22.
May 2027 moon phases: new moon, full Flower Moon and quarters
New moon on Thu 6 May · Full Flower Moon on Thu 20 May (UTC), with both quarters in between.
| Phase | UTC | India (IST) |
|---|---|---|
| New Moon | Thu 6 May, 10:59 | Thu 6 May, 16:29 |
| First Quarter | Thu 13 May, 04:43 | Thu 13 May, 10:13 |
| Full Moon (Flower Moon) | Thu 20 May, 10:59 | Thu 20 May, 16:29 |
| Last Quarter | Fri 28 May, 13:59 | Fri 28 May, 19:29 |
The printable grid marks only the new moon and the full moon. This month every region in the time-zone list agrees, from US Pacific to Australia East, because both phases fall around midday UTC: the new moon is on 6 May and the full moon on 20 May. In other months a phase close to midnight UTC can shift a day. Switch on Moon phases — full & new in the maker and choose a region under Moon dates in time zone to see the icons on the right dates. Almanacs call the May full moon the Flower Moon; in India the same moon is Buddha Purnima, and the new moon and full moon sit almost exactly fourteen days apart.
May public holidays by country, 2027–2030
Fourteen countries and territories, listed for May 2027, 2028, 2029 and 2030. Choose a country under Holidays (2027–2030) in the maker and its May dates print on the calendar in small type, red unless you pick another colour. Religious and regional dates are marked, and lunar dates after 2027 are estimates until each government gazettes them.
| Country | Dates | Holiday |
|---|---|---|
| Australia | Mon 3 May Mon 31 May | Labour / May Day (QLD, NT) Reconciliation Day (ACT) |

| United States | Mon 31 May | Memorial Day |
May Day lands on a Saturday in 2027, and Hong Kong, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore and South Africa move only Sunday holidays to Monday, so none of them gets a day in lieu. The first Monday (3 May) is the bank holiday in Ireland and the UK, and Labour Day in Queensland and May Day in the Northern Territory. Buddha Purnima in India and Vesak in Singapore and Malaysia share Thursday 20 May with the Flower Moon, while Hong Kong keeps Buddha’s Birthday a week earlier on Thursday 13 May. Eid al-Adha is expected on Monday 17 May in India, Singapore and Malaysia, a day after Sunday 16 May in the UAE and the Philippines. Raja Perlis’ Birthday coincides with Hari Raya Haji in Perlis this year. Akshaya Tritiya falls on Saturday 8 May. Regional labels in the table: May Day (some states) in India covers Maharashtra Day and Gujarat Day; Sikkim Day and Goa Day are the 16 May and 30 May statehood days of those two states; Labour / May Day (QLD, NT) is Labour Day in Queensland and May Day in the Northern Territory; Victoria Day is Patriots’ Day in Quebec; Hol Pahang and Perlis Raja Birthday apply only in Pahang and Perlis, and Pesta Kaamatan only in Sabah and Labuan.
May 2027 week numbers in ISO, US and Middle East style
Payroll, schools and project boards do not always count weeks the same way, so pick the system your team uses and compare it with the other two here.
| Dates (Mon–Sun) | ISO 8601 week | US / Canada week | Middle East week |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sat 1 – Sun 2 May | Week 17 (row starts Mon 26 Apr) | Week 18 (1 May), Week 19 (2 May) | Week 19 (1–2 May) |
| Mon 3 – Sun 9 May | Week 18 | Week 19 (3–8 May), Week 20 (9 May) | Week 19 (3–7 May), Week 20 (8–9 May) |
| Mon 10 – Sun 16 May | Week 19 | Week 20 (10–15 May), Week 21 (16 May) | Week 20 (10–14 May), Week 21 (15–16 May) |
| Mon 17 – Sun 23 May | Week 20 | Week 21 (17–22 May), Week 22 (23 May) | Week 21 (17–21 May), Week 22 (22–23 May) |
| Mon 24 – Sun 30 May | Week 21 | Week 22 (24–29 May), Week 23 (30 May) | Week 22 (24–28 May), Week 23 (29–30 May) |
| Mon 31 May | Week 22 (to Sun 6 Jun) | Week 23 (30 May – 5 Jun) | Week 23 (29 May – 4 Jun) |
ISO 8601 gives week 1 to the week holding the first Thursday of the year, which is 7 January in 2027, so week 18 is the first one to begin inside May and week 22 starts on the 31st. In the US style the same row can be one number higher, because Sunday-start weeks begin a day earlier and week 1 always includes 1 January. “Simple” numbering counts the rows of the sheet from 1 to 6, and “No week numbers” hides the column. Each of the five choices has its own entry in the Week numbers list of the maker.
Long weekends and holiday bridge days in May 2027
May 2027 begins on a Saturday and ends on a Monday, which puts three Monday holidays right at the edges of the month. Here is where a holiday joins a weekend, using the 2027 dates from the table above.

Mark your own trip days on the sheet with the Travel icon and use the weekend tint so the long weekends stand out on paper. Bridge days are a matter of company policy; they are shown only to help you plan leave.
May around the world: weather, school breaks and seasonal rhythm
The same 31 days feel very different depending on where you live, so use these notes to decide what belongs on your own sheet.
Spring’s last month up north
May closes the meteorological spring of the Northern Hemisphere, which counts March to May, so 31 May is the final spring day by that reckoning. Evenings keep stretching toward the June solstice.
The hot run-up in India
For much of north, central and western India, May is among the hottest months. Pre-monsoon thunderstorms visit parts of the east and south, and the monsoon’s normal onset over Kerala is around 1 June.
Autumn in the south
South of the equator May is the heart of autumn, with cooler mornings, falling leaves in Australia, New Zealand and Chile, and shorter days that bring evening sport indoors.
Exams, results and graduations
Board-exam results are usually published in May in India, English schools head into the GCSE and A-level exam season, and US universities hold commencement ceremonies.
School and travel breaks
Many Indian schools are in summer vacation, and in England the half-term break normally falls in the week of the Spring bank holiday, which in 2027 starts on Monday 31 May.
Mango and strawberry markets
Mangoes are typically on sale across much of India by May, while strawberries and asparagus arrive on stalls in northern Europe. A fruit calendar is a pleasant extra note on a kitchen sheet.
May 2027 night sky: Flower Moon, moon phases and the Eta Aquariids
None of this needs a telescope, only a clear horizon and some patience.
Eta Aquariids, about 5–6 May
This shower is debris from Halley’s Comet and is active from late April until late May. It usually peaks in the first week of May, and the best viewing is in the dark hours before dawn when its radiant in Aquarius is well above the horizon.
A moonless peak in 2027
The new moon arrives on 6 May at 10:59 UTC, right on top of the expected peak, so no moonlight washes out the faint meteors. Southern and tropical observers see far more than northern ones, whose rates are much lower.
Flower Moon on 20 May
The full moon rises near sunset and stays up all night. It is also the Buddha Purnima and Vesak moon, which makes it a festival date as well as a sky event. Mark it with the full-moon icon.
- Escape the glare. A rooftop or field beats a lit street by a wide margin.
- Let your eyes adjust. Dark adaptation takes about half an hour, and a bright phone screen undoes it instantly.
- No eclipse this month. Neither a solar nor a lunar eclipse occurs in May 2027; the next total solar eclipse comes on 2 August 2027.
- Confirm the peak hour. Shower peaks shift slightly each year, so treat the first week of May as a window and check an almanac or the International Meteor Organization for the exact hour.
Build your May 2027 calendar with week numbers, moon phases and holidays
Everything runs in your browser, so the whole job takes seconds and nothing leaves your device.
- Set up the sheetUse the left column to set the year, the week-number system, the first day of the week and the weekend tint. Turn on Moon phases and pick a time zone, then choose a country under Holidays. The centre preview redraws after every change.
- Pick a lookThe template strip above the preview holds twenty-four designs, ten of them in a black-and-white collection, and the right column sets the font. Because May needs six rows, a sturdy sans or condensed face keeps the date numbers clear in shorter boxes.
- Tap a date to mark itA small popup opens with the date in its title. Type a note, set a text colour, tint the cell and tick “Mark as important” for one of 24 icons. Save and it lands inside the box, ready for Mother’s Day on the 9th or a trip on the 15th.
- Download, print or shareSave a PDF for the printer, a PNG for a slide or a JPG for a chat. Or copy the share link and send the exact sheet, holidays and moon icons included, through WhatsApp, Gmail, email, X, Facebook or LinkedIn.
Printing a six-row May sheet with week numbers and holidays
- Turn on “Stretch to page”. A six-row month leaves a lot of vertical work. Stretch to page grows the rows until the grid fills the sheet instead of leaving a blank strip at the bottom. It works in portrait and landscape, and in landscape it also trims the type slightly so all six rows fit the shorter page.
- Match paper size in both places. Pick the same size in the generator and in the print dialog. A4 against Letter is the usual reason a border gets clipped.
- The Print button prints a picture. It captures the calendar first, so tints, gridlines, holiday text and moon icons look the same as on screen even when the browser has background graphics switched off.
- Choose PDF, PNG or JPG by destination. PDF keeps the exact page size for a print shop, PNG stays sharp in slides and screenshots, and JPG is the lightest file for messaging apps.
- Give small holiday text room. Holiday names print in tiny type. On A5 or A6 a long name may wrap, so choose A4 or larger when you display many holidays at once.
- Save ink on big prints. Classic Print, Lines, Plain, Ledger, Receipt and the other black-and-white designs use very little toner. Keep the full-colour templates for screens and small prints.
Twenty-four May layouts and where each one works best
Fourteen colour and classic designs plus a ten-piece black-and-white collection. All of them draw the same dates, week numbers, moon phases and holidays, and only colour, type and arrangement change.
Classic Print
A bordered title box above a ruled seven-column table. It looks like the paper calendar from the corner stationer and is easy on ink.
Lines
A large light condensed “May 2027” heads a thin black grid. Date numbers sit small in the corner, which leaves each box open for handwriting.
Rainbow
Every weekday column gets its own pastel shade, carried into the date cells. Cheerful for children’s rooms and quick to scan.
List View
One row per day with the weekday on both ends and warm weekend rows. Handy for rotas, trip plans and training logs.
Elegant
A serif month name on the left and the year on the right above a rounded grid. Landscape moves the optional notes beside the table.
Script
A handwritten-style title over a large faint year, with a teal header row. The most decorative design and a good gift sheet.
Classic Black & White
Solid black rules on white. It copies cleanly on a photocopier, and the marker icons print as plain black glyphs.
Simple White
The default: light grey gridlines, blue accents and plenty of space. A dependable choice for a desk pad or the office pinboard.
Ocean Blue
A pale-blue page with a deep navy grid. It reads as calm and cool, which suits a hot-weather month.
Forest Green
Soft green tones in the spirit of spring foliage. A natural pick for garden schedules and outdoor plans.
Sunset Peach
Warm cream with burnt-orange lines. Friendly enough for a kitchen wall or a family planner.
Lavender
Gentle violet fills and a firm purple accent. Popular for study timetables and habit sheets.
Minimal Gray
Slate lines on off-white. It stays out of the way until you need to read it, which suits dense schedules.
Boxed Days
Each date sits in a small outlined square, Saturdays in blue and Sundays in red. April and June dates are greyed so the six-row grid never looks ragged.
Plain
Just the dates and a hairline under the weekday names. The lightest layout in the set and the easiest to write over.
Note Cells
The same quiet grid with a bordered box around every date, sized for a line or two of handwriting.
Ledger
A heavy top rule with full ruled lines and column dividers, like an accounts book. Good for bills, invoices and shift totals.
Weekend Blocks
Saturday and Sunday are fenced off with a thick black rule so the five working days read as one block. Useful for office wall planners.
Tabs
Rounded tab-style weekday headers over a ruled body, like the dividers in a ring binder.
Lined Notes
Each date box is filled with faint writing lines, so handwritten notes stay straight.
Diagonal
Every cell is split by a thin diagonal, with the date above the line and room for a note below it. A tidy way to separate a date from a deadline.
Receipt
A monospaced, dashed-rule list in the manner of a till receipt, one row per day. Playful and very legible on thermal-style printouts.
Certificate
A double-line border and an italic serif title, set for framing or gifting.
Calligraphy
A brush-script month name over a plain black grid. It is the most decorative black-and-white option.
What lands on your May 2027 page: holidays, week numbers and moon phases
Every layer can be switched off, so the paper shows only what you want to read.
Twenty-four working designs
Fourteen colour and classic layouts, from Classic Print and Rainbow to Elegant and Boxed, plus ten black-and-white ones such as Plain, Ledger, Receipt and Certificate. Each is a real layout, not just a recolour.
Five week-number choices
ISO 8601, US / Canada, Middle East, plain row counting or no week column, with an independent “week starts on” switch. They are all calculated for May rather than copied from another month.
Flower Moon and new moon icons
A filled gold disc marks the full moon and a hollow ring marks the new moon, placed on the date that applies in the time zone you choose.
Holidays for fourteen places
Pick Australia, Canada, Hong Kong, India, Ireland, Malaysia, New Zealand, the Philippines, Singapore, South Africa, St. Helena, the UAE, the UK or the US and its May dates print in the corner of each day, in a colour you choose.
Notes, tints and 24 icons
Every date accepts a short note, a text colour, a cell tint and one marker icon, from Birthday and Meeting to Travel, Money and Home.
A link that keeps everything
The share link bundles design, font, week system, holiday country, notes and footer text, so the receiver opens exactly the sheet you built.
Practical ways to use May holidays, week numbers and moon phases
One printed page shows a whole month at once, which a scrolling notification list never does.
Long-weekend trip planner
Print your country’s holidays, tint the long weekends from the table above and drop a Travel icon on departure days so flights and leave requests line up.
School and exam timetable
Use List View for revision slots, tint exam days and mark result dates with a Deadline icon. A black-and-white printout copies well for a whole class.
Shift and pay-day rota
Type shift codes, tint night shifts and let the printed bank holidays show where holiday pay or a day off applies in your country.
Garden and allotment diary
May is sowing and planting time in many northern gardens. Note sowing, watering and harvest days with the Forest Green template.
Stargazing log
Print the moon icons, mark the Eta Aquariid window near 5 May and tick the clear nights. The full moon on the 20th gives you a landmark for the evening.
Family celebrations
Add Mother’s Day on the 9th, birthdays and festival days with the Birthday, Party and Gift icons so the month reads without text.
How holidays, week numbers, paper fitting and sharing work
Holidays are drawn, not stored
A holiday is a fixed label that the calendar draws in small type in the top-right of its date, in the colour you set. It never turns into one of your notes, so changing country or year simply redraws the labels and your own text stays untouched. Years outside 2027 to 2030 show no holidays, and the table above uses the same data, so the two always agree.
How the week number is chosen
ISO numbering applies the Thursday rule to each row. The US / Canada and Middle East options find the week that contains 1 January for the first day you selected, then count forward to the row in front of them. That is why the same May row can be week 18 in one system and week 19 in another. The “simple” option numbers the rows 1 to 6.
Six rows, stretching and paper
When Stretch to page is on, the layout measures the printable area of the paper and enlarges the row height until the grid fills it, shrinking type slightly only if a row cannot get shorter. The paper size also writes a matching @page rule, so the browser print dialog opens with the right sheet. Landscape swaps width and height without rotating anything, and Stretch to page works in both orientations; in landscape the type is scaled down first when six rows would not otherwise fit the shorter page.
Notes and the share link
A note is saved against a full date such as 2027-05-09, with its text colour, optional cell tint and optional icon, so it follows its date when you change the template. Only values that differ from the defaults are serialised to JSON, encoded as URL-safe base64 and placed after #s= in the address. Browsers never send that fragment to a server. Reset to defaults clears both your saved copy and the fragment.
Fun facts about May
Small oddities that set this May apart from the months around it.
- The only Saturday-start month of 2027Of the twelve months of 2027, May is the one that begins on a Saturday, and it is also the only month with five Saturdays, five Sundays and five Mondays.
- A weekday twin in JanuaryIn a common year, May 1 and the following January 1 fall on the same weekday, because May to December adds up to exactly 245 days, which is 35 weeks. January 1, 2028 is therefore also a Saturday.
- Where “Mayday” comes fromThe distress call was coined in 1923 by Frederick Stanley Mockford, a radio officer at Croydon Airport in London, from the French “venez m’aider”, meaning “come and help me”. It has no link to the month.
- A month of three milkingsOld English called May Þrimilcemōnaþ, the “month of three milkings”, because pastures were rich enough for cows to be milked three times a day.
- Many names for one moonThe May full moon is best known as the Flower Moon. Almanacs also list the Milk Moon and the Corn Planting Moon, all describing the same lunation.
- Three events on one full moonIn the Theravada tradition, Vesak marks the birth, enlightenment and death of the Buddha on a single full-moon day, and in 2027 that day is 20 May.
- The Monday before the 25thCanada’s Victoria Day always falls on the Monday before 25 May, because Queen Victoria was born on 24 May 1819. The long weekend is nicknamed “May Two-Four”.
- Decoration Day became Memorial DayThe US holiday was first observed on 30 May 1868 as Decoration Day and became a Monday holiday in 1971, which is why it is always the last Monday of May.

May 2027 calendar: week numbers, moon phases and holidays FAQ
How do I print a blank May 2027 calendar for free?
Use the maker at the top of this page. It opens an empty May 2027 grid that you can print at once or save as a PDF, PNG or JPG. It is free, needs no account and runs entirely in your browser. Leave the boxes empty for a clean sheet or add notes first.
What day does May 2027 start on, and why?
Saturday 1 May. From 1 January (a Friday) to 1 May is 120 days, which is seventeen weeks plus one day, so the weekday moves forward by one. The month ends on Monday 31 May.
How many Saturdays, Sundays and Mondays are in May 2027?
Five of each. Saturdays fall on 1, 8, 15, 22 and 29 May, Sundays on 2, 9, 16, 23 and 30 May, and Mondays on 3, 10, 17, 24 and 31 May. That gives ten weekend days.
Which week numbers does May 2027 cover?
In ISO 8601, 1 and 2 May are in week 17, week 18 starts on Monday 3 May and Monday 31 May starts week 22. In the US / Canada style the month runs from week 18 to week 23, and in the Middle East style from week 19 to week 23.
Why do the US and ISO week numbers differ?
ISO weeks start on Monday and week 1 is the one that contains the first Thursday of the year. US weeks start on Sunday and week 1 is the one that contains 1 January. The two rules can disagree by one week for any date, and in May 2027 the US number is usually one higher.
When is the full moon in May 2027?
The full Flower Moon is on Thursday 20 May 2027 at about 10:59 UTC, which is 16:29 in India. The first quarter is on 13 May, the last quarter on 28 May, and times are calculated to within about two minutes.
When is the new moon in May 2027, and does it affect the Eta Aquariids?
The new moon is on Thursday 6 May at about 10:59 UTC (16:29 IST). That is almost exactly when the Eta Aquariid meteor shower is expected to peak, so the sky is moonless and faint meteors are easier to see.
Which public holidays fall in May 2027?
Labour or May Day on 1 May in several countries, the Early May bank holiday on 3 May in the UK and Ireland, Buddha’s Birthday in Hong Kong on 13 May, Eid al-Adha around 16–17 May, Whit Monday on 17 May in St. Helena, Buddha Purnima and Vesak on 20 May, St Helena Day on 21 May, Victoria Day in Canada on 24 May, and Memorial Day and the UK Spring bank holiday on 31 May.
When are Buddha Purnima and Vesak in 2027?
Thursday 20 May 2027. According to Drik Panchang for New Delhi, the Purnima tithi runs from about 16:02 on 19 May to about 16:28 on 20 May. Singapore and Malaysia also hold Vesak Day on 20 May, while Hong Kong’s Buddha’s Birthday is a week earlier on 13 May.
When is Eid al-Adha in 2027?
It is expected on Sunday 16 May in the UAE and the Philippines and on Monday 17 May in India, Singapore and Malaysia. The real date depends on moon sighting, so confirm it with your local announcement.
Which countries can I choose for May holidays, and for which years?
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. Select one under Holidays (2027–2030) and its May dates print for whichever of those four years is set. The default is None.
Why does New Zealand show no holidays in May?
New Zealand has no national public holiday between Easter and Queen’s Birthday, now King’s Birthday, in early June, and no regional anniversary day falls in May. The table shows a dash for it in every year.
Do May holiday dates change from year to year?
Many do. Memorial Day, Victoria Day and the UK bank holidays follow weekday rules, Labour Day is fixed on 1 May, and religious festivals such as Eid al-Adha, Vesak and Buddha Purnima follow the moon. That is why the table has separate tabs for 2027, 2028, 2029 and 2030.
Why does May 2027 need six rows?
The month starts late in the week and has 31 days. With a Monday or Sunday start, the first row holds only one or two dates and the last row holds only 31 May. Set the week to start on Saturday and the same month fits in five rows.
What is the best paper size for a May 2027 wall calendar?
A3 or Tabloid give the most writing room for a wall. A4 and Letter suit home printers, A5 fits a desk pad and A6 fits a pocket notebook. Turn on Stretch to page so the six rows fill the sheet: portrait gives tall date boxes, landscape gives wide ones.
Can I mark Mother’s Day on my calendar?
Yes. Mother’s Day is on 9 May 2027 in India, the US, Canada, Australia and many other places, but not in the UK or Ireland, which keep it in March. Click 9 May, add a note and pick the Gift or Love icon.
Are my notes and settings uploaded anywhere?
No. They stay in your browser’s local storage, and the share link keeps its data after the # sign, which browsers never send to a server. Press Reset to defaults to remove everything.
