There are some on the outer fringes of the internet who say it heralds the end of the world; but for others, it looks like the perfect day for a wedding

At 11.11.11 on 11.11.11, the time and date will be a perfect same-numbered palindrome, reading the same backwards as forwards, an event which can only happen on one day every 100 years.

And even the most hardened sceptic will surely pause for a moment to reflect on the unique occurrence, which will not come around again in the lifetime of most of us.

Among other things, 11.11.11 will be:

• Armistice Day, celebrated around the world.

• A day of spiritual significance for those who believe the number 11 has a mystical power.

• A very special day to get married or have a birthday (especially if it’s your 11th).

• Perhaps even the end of the world, according to some ‘prophecy’ web forums.

The reason the date is so unusual is that 11.11.11 is the only double-figure palindromic date, since there is no 22nd month.

And the last time it happened, on November 11 1911, an almost supernatural event saw temperatures drop by more than 60F in a single day.

This was the Great Blue Norther, a cold snap which hit the U.S. causing blizzards and tornadoes as well as record falls in temperature.

In Kansas City, it was as warm as 76F (24C) in the morning – but this had dropped to 11F (-12C) by the end of the day.

The day will also be one of celebration for a number of children who will be turning 11 on 11.11.11.

For Hannah Rose Hawkins, of Walton in Somerset, it will be even more special, as she sees in her 11th birthday at her house – number 11.

Most famously, the 11th of November is Armistice Day in the UK – Veterans Day in the U.S. – when we celebrate the end of World War I and commemorate the victims of that war and subsequent ones.
