Go check the code for printing X axis labels.

For example, I have included this in my CGI script:

if ($q->param('png') eq 'monthly') {
    push @args,'-x','WEEK:1:MONTH:1:WEEK:1:604800:Week %V';
}

Quoting http://people.ee.ethz.ch/~oetiker/webtools/mrtg/reference.html:
"Weekformat
  By default, mrtg (actually rateup) uses the strftime(3) '%W' option to
  format week numbers in the monthly graphs. The exact semantics of this
  format option vary between systems. If you find that the week numbers
  are wrong, and your system's strftime(3) routine supports it, you can
  try another format option. The POSIX '%V' option seems to correspond to
  a widely used week numbering convention. The week format character
  should be specified as a single letter; either W, V, or U.

  Example:

   Weekformat[ezwf]: V
"

But with rrdtool I don't think there is a default. See above how I set my
week format.

Yes, this is a FAQ, but not in the FAQ.
