July 4 around the world

Planning a call for Independence Day with someone far away? Choose their city to see when the day starts for them.

Independence Day starts in Sydney 14 hours before it starts in New York.

The gap from Sydney to New York is about 15 hours in most of the year. That means Independence Day is already under way in Australia while the US is still in the evening before.

You can use the same menu on other days of the year. It always compares the start of the day in two places, so it works for any date, not only Independence Day.

Planning for July 4

A countdown helps most when you split the wait into stages. Break the days left before Independence Day into weeks and give each week one task, so nothing is left to the last day.

Sleeps are a good way to count for children. Each night is one sleep, and the tile shows how many remain until Independence Day.

Check the weekday of Independence Day before you plan. A date that falls on a weekend gives more free time than one in the middle of the week.

A short routine helps. Look at the count each morning, note what is due before Independence Day, and cross off tasks as the number falls.

Dates are shown for the current year and the next ten. For years further away, rules may change, so check closer to the time.
