Hello friends. A new year and IERS has already sent out a note about a new
leap second to be added. Beloe a C&P from IERS:
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
A positive leap second will be introduced at the end of June 2015.
The sequence of dates of the UTC second markers will be:
2015 June 30, 23h 59m 59s
2015 June 30, 23h 59m 60s
2015 July 1, 0h 0m 0s
The difference between UTC and the International Atomic Time TAI is:
from 2012 July 1, 0h UTC, to 2015 July 1 0h UTC : UTC-TAI = - 35s
from 2015 July 1, 0h UTC, until further notice : UTC-TAI = - 36s
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
This is UTC so that we add one second late afternoon 30 June in USA or
early morning 1 July in Singapore. This is only important for those that
convert TOD timings to real clock.
