Last Week Day Of The Month

Introduction

This challenge was inspired by a seemingly simple task requested at work that couldn't easily be done in Microsoft Teams. At least not from what we could find!

Task

Your task, if you choose to accept it, is to output the last week day of any month in any year.

Input

You can input the desired month/year in whatever format you like, but it must take in an input. Having these hard-coded into the calculations doesn't count!

Input examples include but are not limited to:

08/2023
October 1678
1/2067

Output

Your output must be the last week day of the month in the below format:

Tuesday 31st

Test cases

Input	Output
`10/2023`	`Tuesday 31st`
`February 2017`	`Tuesday 28th`
`09/1674`	`Friday 28th`
`1/2043`	`Friday 30th`

Assumptions / Stipulations

You can assume the inputs are always in a workable format and not null
Calendar is the Gregorian Calendar
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday are all week days. Saturday and Sunday are NOT valid week days for this task
You can ignore public holidays

PS. I got the test cases from timeanddate.com

Answer*

If this is an answer to a challenge…

…Be sure to follow the challenge specification. However, please refrain from exploiting obvious loopholes. Answers abusing any of the standard loopholes are considered invalid. If you think a specification is unclear or underspecified, comment on the question instead.
…Try to optimize your score. For instance, answers to code-golf challenges should attempt to be as short as possible. You can always include a readable version of the code in addition to the competitive one. Explanations of your answer make it more interesting to read and are very much encouraged.
…Include a short header which indicates the language(s) of your code and its score, as defined by the challenge.

More generally…

…Please make sure to answer the question and provide sufficient detail.
…Avoid asking for help, clarification or responding to other answers (use comments instead).

How to Tag

A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.

complete the sentence: my question is about...
use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
favor using existing popular tags
read the descriptions that appear below the tag

If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:

combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. code-golf), up to a maximum of 35 characters
creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
