Timezone conversion
UTC to PST Time — Convert Coordinated Universal Time to Pacific Standard Time (US)
PST is currently 7 hours behind UTC. The gap shifts across the year: around January PST is 8 hours behind UTC, and around July it is 7 hours behind UTC, because one or both zones observe daylight saving.
PST is currently 7 hours behind UTC.
Abbreviation disambiguation
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.
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.
