On 15 October 2026, the world voted to end the leap second. From 20 May 2027, Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), the time standard behind your phone and the internet, will stop adjusting itself to match Earth’s rotation. To see why this matters, you need two kinds of time. One follows Earth’s spin: when the Sun is directly overhead, it is noon. The other is atomic time. A cesium atom is defined to cycle 9,192,631,770 times per second, and atomic clocks simply count those cycles. Earth does not spin at a perfectly steady speed, so the two drift apart. To keep UTC in step, timekeepers have added 27 leap seconds since 1972. The last one was at the end of 2016. So why stop? Leap seconds cause software problems. After the leap second of 2012, flawed code caused trouble at organisations like Mozilla and Qantas. Then Earth’s rotation recently began speeding up. In 2024, Duncan Agnew of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography reported in Nature that clocks may need to skip a second around 2029. That would be the first negative leap second, and nobody knows how reliably systems would handle something that has never been tried. So the General Conference on Weights and Measures adopted Resolution 5. UTC will now run continuously, with no seconds added or removed. The gap between clock time and Earth time will be allowed to grow, up to a limit of one hour. Nothing changes in your daily life, and the correction is centuries away.
