Commonplace Folklore: Day XXVII

John Spence

“There was a notion that certain days of the week had to do with the weather. For example, a change for the better on Sunday was considered a favourable omen, but a bright Monday betokened a dark week. Wednesday’s weather was true, and Friday was supposed to be either the best or the worst day in all the week.”
