Pacific Standard Time (PST) or UTC/GMT -8 Time Zones in the United States. The Pacific Time Zone refers to a time zone which observes standard time by subtracting eight hours from Greenwich Mean Time (UTC/GMT -8). Time in this zone is based on the mean solar time of the 120th meridian west of the Greenwich Observatory.
- This time zone converter lets you visually and very quickly convert UTC to PST and vice-versa. Simply mouse over the colored hour-tiles and glance at the hours selected by the column. UTC stands for Universal Time. PST is known as Pacific Standard Time.
- Observes PST – Pacific Standard Time part of the year, but not currently. Currently has same time zone offset as PST (UTC -8) but different time zone name. Pacific Standard Time (PST) is 8 hours behind Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).
- Pacific Standard Time (PST) is 8 hours behind Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). This time zone is in use during standard time in: North America. This time zone is often called Pacific Time. See full time zone map.
- Pacific Daylight Time(PDT) is 07:00 hours behind Coordinated Universal(UTC) Time.This timezone is a Daylight Saving Time timezone and is used in: North America. Typical City of PDT (Pacific Daylight Time) USA - Los Angeles (Summer) UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) Coordinated Universal Time(UTC) has no offset from Coordinated Universal(UTC) Time.

The Pacific Time Zone (PT) is a time zone encompassing parts of western Canada, the western United States, and western Mexico. Places in this zone observe standard time by subtracting eight hours from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC−08:00). During daylight saving time, a time offset of UTC−07:00 is used.
In the United States and Canada, this time zone is generically called the Pacific Time Zone. Specifically, time in this zone is referred to as Pacific Standard Time (PST) when standard time is being observed (early November to mid-March), and Pacific Daylight Time (PDT) when daylight saving time (mid-March to early November) is being observed. In Mexico, the corresponding time zone is known as the Zona Noroeste (Northwest Zone) and observes the same daylight saving schedule as the U.S. and Canada. The largest city in the Pacific Time Zone is Los Angeles, whose metropolitan area is also the largest in the time zone.
The zone is two hours ahead of the Hawaii–Aleutian Time Zone, one hour ahead of the Alaska Time Zone, one hour behind the Mountain Time Zone,[a] two hours behind the Central Time Zone, three hours behind the Eastern Time Zone, and four hours behind the Atlantic Time Zone.
Canada[edit]
One Canadian province and one territory are split between the Pacific Time Zone and the Mountain Time Zone:
- British Columbia – all, except for the Highway 95 corridor (including Golden and Creston) in the southeast, and Tumbler Ridge, Fort St. John, and Dawson Creek in the northeast
- Northwest Territories – Tungsten[1]
As of September 24, 2020, Yukon officially switched from the Pacific Time Zone to 'to be reckoned as seven hours behind Coordinated Universal Time (UTC−7)' due to no longer following daylight savings.[2]
Mexico[edit]
In Mexico, the Zona Noroeste, which corresponds to Pacific Time in the United States and Canada, includes:
United States[edit]
Two states are fully contained in the Pacific Time Zone:
Three states are split between the Pacific Time Zone and the Mountain Time Zone:
- Idaho – Idaho Panhandle
- Nevada – all, except for West Wendover and, unofficially, several towns along the Idaho border
- Oregon – all, except for the majority of Malheur County
One state is split between the Pacific Time Zone, the Alaska Time Zone, and the Hawaii–Aleutian Time Zone:
- Alaska – Hyder
Daylight time[edit]
Through 2006, the local time (PST, UTC−08:00) changed to daylight time (PDT, UTC−07:00) at 02:00 LST (local standard time) to 03:00 LDT (local daylight time) on the first Sunday in April, and returned at 02:00 LDT to 01:00 LST on the last Sunday in October.
Effective in the U.S. in 2007 as a result of the Energy Policy Act of 2005, the local time changes from PST to PDT at 02:00 LST to 03:00 LDT on the second Sunday in March and the time returns at 02:00 LDT to 01:00 LST on the first Sunday in November. The Canadian provinces and territories that use daylight time each adopted these dates between October 2005 and February 2007. In Mexico, beginning in 2010, the portion of the country in this time zone uses the extended dates, as do some other parts. The vast majority of Mexico, however, still uses the old dates.

Notes[edit]
- ^While the state of Arizona lies entirely within in the Mountain Time Zone, daylight saving time is only observed within the Navajo Nation; as a result, Arizona is aligned with the Pacific Time Zone from mid-March to early November.
