Daylight saving right now

Pacific Standard Time

America/Los_Angeles is currently on PDT (UTC-07:00), its daylight-saving clock. That is not PST — this page is named for the abbreviation people search for, and tells you the truth about which one is actually in force.

next change: Sun, 1 Nov 2026 01:00 local → PST (80 days, clocks go back)

PST covers the US West Coast in winter. Los Angeles, Seattle and Vancouver switch to PDT (UTC-7) for summer, which is why "9am PST" in July is nearly always meant as 9am PDT.

Coordinated Universal Time

UTC is on UTC (UTC+00:00).

no clock change scheduled — fixed at UTC+00:00

UTC is the reference clock every other offset is quoted against. It has no daylight saving and never shifts.

Best time to call green = 09:00–18:00 on both sides

2 overlapping working hours. The longest run is 16:00–18:00 UTC, which is 09:00–11:00 PST.

Every hour as its own page

UTC to PST — questions

What time is it in PST when it is UTC now?
PST is currently 16:27 on Wednesday, 12 August 2026 (PDT, UTC-07:00), while UTC is 23:27 (UTC+00:00). That is 7 hours behind the source clock right now.
How many hours behind is PST of UTC?
7 hours at this moment. The gap is not constant across the year: Coordinated Universal Time and Pacific Standard Time change clocks on different dates (or one of them not at all), so a difference you hard-code in summer can be an hour wrong in winter. The table on this page is computed from the current tzdata rules, not from a fixed offset.
Is PST on daylight saving time right now?
Pacific Standard Time is currently observing daylight saving — the live abbreviation is PDT (UTC-07:00), not PST.
When does PST next change its clocks?
America/Los_Angeles next changes on Sunday, 01 November 2026 at 01:00 local time, when it moves back 60 minutes and the abbreviation becomes PST (UTC-08:00). That is 80 days away. This date comes from the IANA tzdata rules currently in force, so it updates if a government changes the law.
What is the best time to schedule a call between UTC and PST?
There are 2 hours of overlap where both sides are inside a 09:00-18:00 working day. The longest block is 16:00–18:00 UTC, which is 09:00–11:00 PST. Use the calendar buttons above to drop it straight into Google Calendar, Outlook or an .ics file.
Which IANA timezone name should I use for PST in code?
Use America/Los_Angeles. Abbreviations like PST are ambiguous and not resolvable by most libraries — Python's ZoneInfo, Java's ZoneId, Go's time.LoadLocation and JavaScript's Intl all expect the IANA name. Hard-coding UTC-07:00 instead will be wrong the moment the rules change.
