About this count
Each midnight takes one off the 560. Today is left out and May 1 itself is counted, so on Sunday, April 30 the page will show 1 day to go. US clocks go back on Sunday, November 1 and forward again on Sunday, March 14, 2027, which changes the hours but not the number of days.
In Excel or Google Sheets, =DATE(2028,5,1)-TODAY() gives the same 560 today; add 1 to count today as well.
This count to May 1, 2028 was worked out on Monday, October 19, 2026 (US Eastern time), and your browser recounts it from your own date when the page opens.
