Every year, some of us enjoy watching the new year roll in across the world. We wanted a way to easily monitor this. This dashboard plots a set of cities on a world map and counts down to midnight in each of their time zones, colour-coded by how close they are: red for soon, cyan for later, green for just gone midnight.
It automatically highlights and pans to whichever zone is next up as the countdown runs, and you can switch between a “Core” set of major time zones or an “Extended” set for broader coverage, plus toggle the map between dark and light styles.
This page is only useful one day a year. The other 364, it’s just a very elaborate way of telling you what the time is!
The New Year’s Eve World Countdown is free to use, runs entirely in your browser, and sends nothing to any server.
