It covers all or parts of five states in the US and two provinces or territories in Canada.
The PST time zone is the third most populated time zone in the US. It spans from Canada to Mexico.
In North America, Pacific Standard Time shares a border with Mountain Standard Time (MST) in the east.
Pacific Standard Time Zone
Pacific Standard Time (PST) is a standard time zone in use from the first Sunday in November to the second Sunday in March—when Daylight Saving Time (DST) is not in effect. Pacific Daylight Time (PDT) is used during the remainder of the year.
In everyday usage, PST is often referred to as Pacific Time (PT) or the Pacific Time Zone. This can add a bit of confusion as the term Pacific Time does not differentiate between standard time and Daylight Saving Time, so Pacific Time switches between PST and PDT in areas that use DST during part of the year.
Cranbrook, Golden, Invermere are in the MST/MDT zone; Creston, the Northern Rockies Regional Municipality, and most of Peace River Regional District (except Fort Ware) observe MST all year
Mexican states using PST in the winter and PDT in the summer:
The dates and times listed in your account can refer to Pacific Standard Time (PST) or Pacific Daylight Time (PDT), depending on the time of year. PST and PDT are one hour apart. It's not possible to change the time zone of a serving account.
Pacific Standard Time is the westernmost time zone in the contiguous United States and Canada. It is also used in Baja California, Mexico. It covers all or parts of five states in the US and two provinces or territories in Canada. The PST time zone is the third most populated time zone in the US.
The solution was incredibly simple, for people in places that observe Daylight Saving Time, simply omit the words “standard” or “daylight” from your time zone vocabulary. For Arizona residents, that means communicating Pacific Time, PT, during the spring/summer months and Mountain Time, during the fall/winter months.
There are about four states in the Pacific time zone. Those states are California, the western counties of Idaho, Nevada, Oregon except most of Malheur County, and Washington.
California uses Pacific Standard Time (PST) during standard time and Pacific Daylight Time (PDT) during Daylight Saving Time (DST). California shares its time zone and DST schedule with bordering states Oregon and Nevada.
Universal Time Coordinated (UTC) is similar to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) but, unlike the latter, does not adjust to account for Daylight Savings Time. You can figure out which time zone you're in by searching Time Zone Map or Time Zone [CITY] UTC.
The region that is farthest ahead of California are the islands in the Western Pacific, just on the far side of the 180th meridian, and that's 21 hours ahead. Any closer than that, and you'd be behind California, not ahead.
Pacific Standard Time (North America) is 8 hours behind the UTC universal time. What time is it in Pacific Standard Time (North America) now? It is 19:20:48 right now.
Time ranges use an en dash with a space on each side. 8:30 a.m. – 9:45 a.m. RMA follows the AP style when presenting time zones. When spelled out, designations of time zones begin with capitals: Eastern Time (ET); Central Time (CT); Mountain Time (MT); Pacific Time (PT); Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).
California operates in the Pacific Time Zone (PT), which alternates between Pacific Standard Time (PST) and Pacific Daylight Time (PDT) depending on the time of year and observance of Daylight Saving Time.
