Hours until the weekend, counted to 5:00 p.m. on Friday in your time zone. The counter above shows the exact hours until it begins, at 5:00 p.m. in your time zone.

How this is calculated

hours until the weekend = (start of the weekend in the chosen zone − now) ÷ 3,600 s

The countdown targets 5:00 p.m. at the start of the weekend in the selected time zone —the next Friday at 5:00 p.m. That wall-clock time is resolved to an absolute instant, the current instant is subtracted, and the result is shown in hours. Working in absolute time means an interval that crosses a daylight saving change is an hour longer or shorter than the calendar suggests, and the number here reflects that.

The time zone is part of the link, so a countdown shared from one place shows the same hours everywhere. When the weekend passes, the counter moves to the next one.
