Daylight saving and how the gap changes

BST is 8 hours ahead of PT for most of the year. Pacific Time (US) and British Summer Time both observe daylight saving, but they change their clocks on different dates, so for a short period each spring and each autumn the gap differs by an hour — the converter above always reflects the correct offset for the date you pick.
