New in Countdowns: Add your own text

Our Online Countdown now allows you to add your own text, so you can truly make countdowns to any occasion.

Anyone you know graduating?

Nobody counts the days with more zeal than tired students getting ready for their long awaited vacation. Why not make a Graduation Countdown? We offer an iPhone Countdown App, a Facebook Countdown App which lets you post it on your own or a friend's wall, and not to mention an Online Countdown.

New Online Timer

We are currently working on a new Online Timer which will complement our existing Countdown services. This version is now working and functional, but we will add many more features in the coming weeks.

Repeating Months – Reuse calendars

Our new Repeating Months service shows how often month/weekday combinations repeat themselves. One example is that January 2011 and October 2011 look the same.

Total Lunar Eclipse on June 15, 2011

This lunar eclipse will be one of the darkest ever, visible to observers in Africa, southern Asia, and Australia.

For those spending June 1st in the far north, a very small partial eclipse of the Sun can be seen from northern Alaska, northern Canada, Greenland, Iceland, and portions of northeastern Asia.

@fangirl1978: BBC Weather is always wrong for Sunderland. Timeanddate.com, however, which isn't even a British site, is usually right...

FAQ/Tip of the Month

Most of Great Britain uses BST (British Summer Time) and not GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) during the summer months when they observe Daylight Saving Time (DST).

Did You Know...

...that a month containing five Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays occurs much more frequently than only every 823 years. Use our repeating calendar tool to check just how often a yearly calendar repeats itself.
