When does New Year 2027 arrive in each place?
New Year doesn't arrive everywhere at once. It starts in the Pacific and rolls west for about 26 hours, so somebody, somewhere, is counting down for more than a day. The table lists each place in the order it reaches midnight, with the matching time in India and in New York.
