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.
PST: Pacific Standard Time
Pacific Standard Time is UTC−8. PST is also used for Philippine Standard Time (UTC+8) and sometimes for Pakistan Standard Time (UTC+5). This page converts US Pacific Time.
California, Washington, Oregon and Nevada, plus British Columbia in Canada and Baja California in Mexico. PT is the short form people use for the whole zone.
Most places on Pacific Time are on PDT (UTC−7) right now, not PST. People still say "PST" all year, so the times on this page follow the clocks and show PDT until 1 November 2026.
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.
