About May
May is named after Maia, a goddess the Romans linked with growth and spring planting. In many countries it opens with May Day, a public holiday for workers on May 1.
In the US, Mother's Day falls on the second Sunday and Memorial Day on the last Monday, whose long weekend most people treat as the start of summer. Britain gets two bank holidays in May, on its first and last Mondays. Emerald is the birthstone.

About this count
Each midnight takes one off the 195. Today is left out and May 1 itself is counted, so on Friday, 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(2027,5,1)-TODAY() gives the same 195 today; add 1 to count today as well.
This count to May 1, 2027 was worked out on Sunday, October 18, 2026 (US Eastern time), and your browser recounts it from your own date when the page opens.
