How these countdowns work

Each entry above is a rule rather than a stored date. Fixed holidays such as Christmas and Halloween always land on the same calendar date, so the only question is which year. Others are positional: Thanksgiving is the fourth Thursday in November, Memorial Day is the last Monday in May, and Labor Day is the first Monday in September. Easter and the days tied to it are computed with the standard Gregorian algorithm, which means Good Friday and Mardi Gras follow it automatically.

The target for every countdown is midnight at the start of the day in your own time zone, taken from your browser. The season and equinox dates are the usual approximations rather than the exact astronomical instant, which shifts by a day between years, and the pages that use one say so. Nothing you look at here is sent anywhere.

For a date that is not on this list, such as a launch, an exam or a due date, the deadline countdown takes any target you type and keeps it in your browser. The holidays page covers the same dates in calendar form if you want to see a whole year at once.

Frequently asked questions

Which time zone do the countdowns use?

Yours. The dates and day counts on this index are worked out from your own device clock once the page loads, using the same rules as the event pages, so the two never disagree by a day. Someone reading this in Los Angeles late in the evening and someone reading it in Tokyo the next morning see different numbers against the same date, which is correct.

Do the dates need updating every year?

No. Every date comes from a rule that is evaluated against the current date, so a countdown that reaches zero starts again against the following year without anyone touching the site.

Can I count down to my own date?

Use the deadline countdown, which takes any date, shows how much of the run is gone and saves your deadlines in your own browser rather than on a server.
