Countdown to Leap Day
Tuesday, February 29, 2028About the countdown to Leap Day
Leap Day exists to keep the calendar aligned with the solar year, adding one day roughly every four years.
Years divisible by 100 are not leap years unless they are also divisible by 400.
The counter above reads from your device clock and refreshes every second, so the days, hours, minutes and seconds always reflect the time remaining right now. When Leap Day arrives, the page quietly moves its target to the following year so the countdown never runs out of road.
