About PST and EST
PST is Pacific Standard Time, UTC−8, observed in winter in California, Oregon, Washington, and Nevada. EST is Eastern Standard Time, UTC−5. From the second Sunday in March to the first Sunday in November the same places call the clocks PDT and EDT.
Los Angeles remains three hours behind New York on both sides of the change. This page uses America/Los_Angeles and America/New_York, so the live abbreviation switches between PST and PDT, and between EST and EDT, with the date you pick.
| Zone | IANA | Standard | Daylight |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pacific Time | America/Los_Angeles | PST (UTC−8) | PDT (UTC−7) |
| Eastern Time | America/New_York | EST (UTC−5) | EDT (UTC−4) |
Scheduling from PST to EST
A 6:00 AM PST start is 9:00 AM EST. A 1:00 PM PST deadline is 4:00 PM EST. A 5:00 PM PST end of day is 8:00 PM EST, which is why a West Coast afternoon lands in an East Coast evening.
The clean overlap is 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM PST (noon to 5:00 PM EST). After 2:00 PM on the Pacific clock, New York is past a typical 5:00 PM close.
