Reverse the subtraction for days since."},"sections":[["The start of Daylight Saving Time in plain numbers",["As of Monday, October 5, 2026, the start of Daylight Saving Time is 4,906 days away. Put another way, that is 700 full weeks and 6 extra days, about 161 calendar months, or 117,744 hours if you count from midnight. The date lands on a Sunday, in ISO week 10 of 2040, and it is day 71 of 366 in that 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 the start of Daylight Saving Time there are 3,504 weekdays (Monday to Friday), 701 Saturdays and 701 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 350 paydays before then, and about 700 if you are paid weekly.","Some people prefer to break a long wait into stages. The quarter mark of the range is Tuesday, February 12, 2030, the halfway point is Thursday, June 23, 2033, and the three-quarter mark is Friday, October 31, 2036. By the time the start of Daylight Saving Time arrives, 19.4% of 2040 will have gone by. There are 701 Fridays in the range, which is handy if your deadlines or deliveries land at the end of the week."]],["About the start of Daylight Saving Time",["The date clocks move forward one hour in most of the United States and Canada, set by law to the second Sunday of March. the start of Daylight Saving Time is a civil or calendar date rather than a festival, and people track it for deadlines, payroll cut-offs, contract terms, school terms and accounting periods.","the start of Daylight Saving Time follows a weekday rule: the 2nd Sunday of March, so the calendar date moves within a fixed seven-day window each year."]],["What comes next",["The next major date after the start of Daylight Saving Time is St. Patrick's Day on Saturday, March 17, 2040, 6 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 the start of Daylight Saving Time 2040: 350 fortnights until the start of Daylight Saving Time — Sunday, March 11, 2040","show_method":true}
