About March 16
March 16 is the 60th day of the year in the Gregorian calendar (61st in a leap year), marking the traditional start of meteorological spring in the Northern Hemisphere. It sits at the transition from winter to spring, which is why many seasonal schedules, school terms, and fiscal planning cycles reference it.
Historically, March was the first month in the early Roman calendar — hence the name from Martius (Mars) — before January and February were added. March 16 therefore carried New Year significance in ancient Rome, but in the modern Gregorian calendar the year begins on January 1.
For planning today, March 16 is a fixed annual date: it occurs on the same calendar date every year and is always 1 day after March 15 and 1 day before March 17. That makes the countdown predictable and useful for quarterly deadlines, spring launches, and academic calendars.

How the countdown works
We create March 16 at 00:00 in your local timezone for this year. If that moment has already passed, we roll to March 16 next year.
All calculations use your device clock and local timezone, so the countdown hits zero exactly when March 16 starts where you are.
Remaining milliseconds are converted to days, hours, minutes, and seconds. Values never go negative and update every second.
Leap years are handled automatically by the calendar — the interval from March 16 to next March 16 is 365 or 366 days as appropriate.
If today is after March 16, the timer counts toward next year’s March 16 and shows how many days ago the last one occurred.
The timer is scoped to this component, accessible, and works on mobile without external libraries.
