Bulletin C 59 has been released on 2020-01-07 at 12:50:44 by IERS and there will be no leap-second in June 2020. There are also a new IERS leap-seconds list file (leap-seconds.3787382231) and Leap_Second.dat file (touched but unchanged). Visit ftp://hpiers.obspm.fr/iers/bul/bulc/ By all indications, there will be an unusually long interval before the next leap-second (July 2021 or later). See IERS Bulletin A at ftp://cddis.gsfc.nasa.gov/pub/products/iers/ser7.dat. (USNO's FTP sites are under construction.)
