New Year’s countdown worldwide

by

The Pacific island nations of Tonga, Samoa and Kiribati were the first to see the new year, when it was still 5 a.m. on December 31 on the east coast of the United States and 11 a.m. UTC (Coordinated Universal Time, the world standard)). New Zealand was next, an hour later.

American Samoa, just 101 miles from Samoa, but in a completely different time zone, has to wait a full day before seeing it in 2021.
There are 39 different local hours in use, including two that are more than 12 hours ahead of UTC, meaning the whole world takes 26 hours to enter the new year.
So if really, really, really i love to corner “Auld Lang Syne”, the list below will give you the spirit, over and over again.

This is when the world has been and will be which sounds like the new year, in relation to the time of the east coast.
