How it works
This page uses December 21 as the December solstice, a widely used marker for the start of winter. Dates are calculated in UTC.
Frequently asked questions
- How is the next Winter date chosen?
- When today's UTC date is on or after this year's Winter, the counter automatically targets the following year's occurrence.
- Why does this countdown use UTC?
- Calendar-day counts and the target midnight are based on Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), so results are consistent worldwide. Local time zones may show a different calendar day near midnight.
