It depends on the current locale and what day, Sunday or Monday,
counts as start of the week. In C/POSIX, the first Sunday of the year
starts week 1:
$ LC_ALL=C ncal -wd 2015-01
January 2015
Su 4 11 18 25
Mo 5 12 19 26
Tu 6 13 20 27

Th 1 8 15 22 29

Weird. I'd never expect C and C.UTF-8 be different. These are locale values:
$ LC_ALL=C locale week-1stweek
4
$ LC_ALL=C.UTF-8 locale week-1stweek
7
$ LC_ALL=en_US locale week-1stweek
7
LC_ALL=en_US.utf8 locale week-1stweek
7
$ LC_ALL=de_DE.utf8 locale week-1stweek
4
$ LC_ALL=ru_RU.utf8 locale

week are in the preceding year -- in this case it would use the locale
value. Still, I

This time however, the week's number displayed by ncal is one week behind (24
instead of 25):

$ ncal -w
