It's tricky. Bulletin C is pretty clear about when it thinks TAI-UTC changes: from 2015 July 1, 0h UTC, to 2017 January 1 0h UTC : UTC-TAI = - 36s from 2017 January 1, 0h UTC, until further notice : UTC-TAI = - 37s However, since there isn't any TAI time with a :60 seconds label, it doesn't make much sense to have a defined delta for the last UTC second of 2016.

Slight or moderate becoming rough or very rough later. Rain later. Moderate or good. _______________________________________________ LEAPSECS mailing list [email protected] https://pairlist6.pair.net/mailman/listinfo/leapsecs
