About these time zones
EST: Eastern Standard Time
Eastern Standard Time is UTC−5.
New York, Florida, Georgia, the Carolinas, Ohio, Michigan and the rest of the East Coast, plus Ontario and Quebec in Canada. Panama, Jamaica and Cancún stay on EST all year. ET is the short form for the whole zone.
Most places on Eastern Time are on EDT (UTC−4) right now, not EST. People still say "EST" all year, so the times on this page follow the clocks and show EDT until 1 November 2026.
PDT: Pacific Daylight Time
Pacific Daylight Time is UTC−7.
California, Washington, Oregon and Nevada, plus British Columbia in Canada, from March to November. The rest of the year the zone is on PST.
How the difference changes
Both zones change their clocks on the same dates (next on 1 November 2026), so the difference stays 3 hours all year.
