The resulting pattern would be irregular. There would be 4 months of 5 weeks per normal, 52-week year, or 5 such months in a long, 53-week year. They meet one of the following three criteria: The first day of the month is a ... Thursday and the month has 29 through 31 days. Wednesday and the month has 30 or 31 days.
In other words, the Julian calendar gains 3.1 days every 400 years.
