PST (Pacific Standard Time) is UTC-8, covering California, Washington, Oregon, and Nevada. From March to November, the West Coast uses PDT (UTC-7).
UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) is the global standard, used in servers, APIs, aviation, and international scheduling. It never observes DST.
Silicon Valley and Seattle teams often work in PT while coordinating with global systems in UTC. A 9 AM standup in San Francisco is 17:00 UTC in winter — a useful anchor for global teams.
To convert PST to UTC: add 8 hours. Example: 9:00 AM PST = 17:00 UTC (5:00 PM UTC). During Daylight Saving Time (PDT, UTC-7), add only 7 hours: 9:00 AM PDT = 16:00 UTC (4:00 PM UTC).
9:00 AM PST is 17:00 UTC (5:00 PM UTC). During US Pacific Daylight Time (PDT, summer), 9:00 AM PDT is 16:00 UTC (4:00 PM UTC).
PST (Pacific Standard Time) has a UTC offset of UTC-8, meaning it is 8 hours behind Coordinated Universal Time. During US Daylight Saving Time (spring through fall), the West Coast uses PDT (UTC-7).
