Often it will be beautiful all week, and then overcast on the weekend, or rainy. Is it just my imagination or are weekdays statistically sunnier? I thought it was all in my head until I heard a theory that the extra pollution from the weekday commute builds up and somehow encourages rain on weekends, which is a huge bummer.

Nope.

This is sorta like when the weather forecast is wrong 1 time out of 10 and the day they get it wrong it ruins your outdoor plans--that's the time you notice it and remember the wrong forecast.

During the week you really don't care what the weather is because you're working and you're probably not going to change your plans because of it.

However, your weekend plans can change--and weather can be one changing factor. When that happens, you're going to have a strong memory of that.

Why don't you try to make this more scientific? Keep track of when the weather is favorable or not favorable to you on the weekends...just scribble it down on a wall calendar. Over short terms, it might be skewed one way or another, but over time (a few years) you'll see it average out.

well statistically speaking the weekdays are gonna be sunnier because theres 5 weekdays to 2 weekend days...beyond that its just weather man. you can't control the weather. just go where the winds blow you.

interesting theory, for sure...It isn't true though, or more corretly it is conjecture...our metrological sensors are not clever enough to detect the very subtle day to day changes in pollution or their effects on micro climates...

More philosophically: on the weekends we are more likely to travel to find sunnier climes: during the week we are forced to stay in one location...so my weekends tend to be sunnier: but by choice rather than due to nature itself...

thinking about it like that, I can outsmart nature, I have the power of GOD...mwah mwah mwahaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Also, if you work, you really don't know WHAT it was fot most of the day. Unless you have a window next to your cube.

Not really, but it seems that way sometimes.
