Double hump day
Most people know that Hump Day falls on Wednesday of each week. Double Hump Day happens on the 16th day of a 31-day month, which falls on a Wednesday. The last one occurred in December of 2020.
There is a less frequent Double Hump Day that comes on the 15th day of a leap-year February. The last one came in 2012 and the next one will occur in the year 2040. (At least this article is not political.)
