second must then be added or subtracted as a correction factor. This is known as a “leap second”.
The leap second correction is executed every year or two simultaneously throughout the world on the basis of information collected by astronomical observatories all over the world. The correction is effected between 11:59'59" p.m. and 0:00'00" a.m. GMT either on December 31 or on June 30, during which one second is added or subtracted.
When this happens, please adjust your watch accordingly.
Please refer to your newspaper for information on the leap second.
