PST to UTC Time — Convert Pacific Standard Time (US) to Coordinated Universal Time
UTC is currently 7 hours ahead of PST. The gap shifts across the year: around January UTC is 8 hours ahead of PST, and around July it is 7 hours ahead of PST, because one or both zones observe daylight saving.
UTC is currently 7 hours ahead of PST.
Abbreviation disambiguation
On Clockjumper, PST refers to Pacific Standard Time in the United States (UTC−8). The US West Coast observes PST in winter and switches to PDT (UTC−7) during daylight saving time.
On Clockjumper, UTC refers to Coordinated Universal Time — the global reference from which every other zone is expressed as an offset. It never shifts for daylight saving. GMT is equivalent to UTC for everyday use, though in the UK "GMT" also names the winter time, with clocks moving to BST in summer.
