Is there a New Year countdown for my city?

Yes, for 37 cities, each with a page that counts down to its local midnight. In the order they celebrate: Auckland, Melbourne, Sydney, Seoul, Tokyo, Hong Kong, Kuala Lumpur, Manila, Singapore, Taipei, Bangkok, Ho Chi Minh City, Jakarta, Delhi, Mumbai, Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Moscow, Riyadh, Cape Town, Johannesburg, Amsterdam, Berlin, Lagos, Madrid, Paris, Edinburgh, London, Buenos Aires, Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, New York, Toronto, Chicago, Mexico City, Las Vegas and Los Angeles. Anywhere else, the countdown at the top of this page follows your own time zone.

How accurate is this countdown?

As accurate as your device's clock. The countdown reads that clock and your browser's time zone rules, summer time included, and works out the exact moment of midnight in the chosen time zone. If your device sets its time automatically, the countdown keeps the same time as your clock.

What happens on this page at midnight?

The countdown turns into a Happy New Year greeting. If the page is open for the last ten seconds, a full-screen countdown runs and fireworks follow at midnight; if your device is set to reduce motion, you get the greeting without the animation. Turn on Sound before midnight to hear a tick for each of the last ten seconds and a fanfare at midnight.
