That works out to 696 weeks plus 5 days, close to 160 months, or 117,048 hours of clock time. The date falls on a Sunday, the 43rd day of a 366-day year.","This page is not a snapshot. The figures are recalculated every time it loads, using the Asia/Karachi time zone, so tomorrow the count will be one day smaller. If you bookmark the page you will always see the current gap rather than the number that was true on the day you saved it, and nobody has to edit anything for that to stay correct."]],["Planning around the date",["For work and school planning the useful numbers are working days and weekends. Between today and Chinese New Year there are 3,483 weekdays (Monday to Friday), 697 Saturdays and 697 Sundays. Take out public holidays in your region and you have a realistic count of working days left. If you are paid every two weeks, expect about 348 paydays before then, and about 696 if you are paid weekly.","Some people prefer to break a long wait into stages. The quarter mark of the range is Wednesday, February 6, 2030, the halfway point is Thursday, June 9, 2033, and the three-quarter mark is Friday, October 10, 2036. By the time Chinese New Year arrives, 11.7% of 2040 will have gone by. There are 697 Fridays in the range, which is handy if your deadlines or deliveries land at the end of the week."]],["About Chinese New Year",["Lunar New Year, computed as the first new moon on or after January 21 in China Standard Time. Because Chinese New Year is a religious observance, many families organize travel, meals, services and time off around it. Congregations usually publish their own schedules, so treat the date here as the calendar date and confirm local timings with your community.","Chinese New Year falls on the second new moon after the December solstice, which in practice means the first new moon on or after January 21 in China Standard Time."]],["What comes next",["The next major date after Chinese New Year is Valentine's Day on Tuesday, February 14, 2040, 2 days later. If you are planning a stretch of several weeks, it helps to know where the next break or deadline falls so you can space out your commitments."]],["Using this fortnight counter",["A fortnight is fourteen days. The word is common in the UK, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand, and it lines up with biweekly pay cycles and many rental and billing periods. The figure shows complete fortnights, with leftover days alongside."]]],"summary":"Fortnights Until Chinese New Year 2040: 348 fortnights until Chinese New Year — Sunday, February 12, 2040","show_method":true}
