      abstract     = {Several studies have claimed to have found significant
                      weekly cycles of meteorological variables appearing over
                      large domains, which can hardly be related to urban effects
                      exclusively. Nevertheless, there is still an ongoing
                      scientific debate whether these large-scale weekly cycles
                      exist or not, and some other studies fail to reproduce them
                      with statistical significance. In addition to the lack of
                      the positive proof for the existence of these cycles, their
                      possible physical explanations have been controversially
                      discussed during the last years. In this work we review the
                      main results about this topic published during the recent
                      two decades, including a summary of the existence or
                      non-existence of significant weekly weather cycles across
                      different regions of the world, mainly over the US, Europe
                      and Asia. In addition, some shortcomings of common
                      statistical methods for analyzing weekly cycles are listed.
                      Finally, a brief summary of supposed causes of the weekly
                      cycles, focusing on the aerosol-cloud-radiation interactions
                      and their impact on meteorological variables as a result of
                      the weekly cycles of anthropogenic activities, and possible
                      directions for future research, is presented.},
