The Pacific Time Zone observes standard time by subtracting eight hours from Coordinated Universal Time (UTCâ8). The standard time in this zone is based on the mean solar time of the 120th meridian west of the Greenwich Observatory.
During this time the offset for this time zone is UTC -7:00. When the winter months arrive and the clocks are set back to their original time, the zone is then designated as Pacific Standard Time (PST). During the winter months when PST is in effect, the offset is UTC -8:00. Understanding this distinction will help you better convert between time zones, but if youâd rather not do the math, you can also use our extremely helpful time zone converter to do the job for you.
