%e Number of times all months occur on "Friday the 13th" in the past century and the current one:

%e | Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec

%e ----------+------------------------------------------------

%e 1991-2000 | 14 14 4 10 14 14 0 11 15 4 0 0

%e 2000-2100 | 14 15 3 11 14 15 0 11 14 3 0 0

%e The table doesn't say that there are no "Friday the 13ths" in July, November, and December: just first occurrences are considered, e.g. Nov 13 2009 is on a Friday, but a(2009) = 2.
