West Coast tech companies headquartered in San Francisco, Seattle, and Portland rely on UTC-to-Pacific conversions for infrastructure monitoring, incident response, and coordinating with global teams. Cloud platforms like AWS and GCP report metrics in UTC.

PST is 8 hours behind UTC. A deploy at 18:00 UTC lands at 10 AM Pacific — a reasonable hour for the team to monitor it. During summer, PDT (UTC−7) shifts that same 18:00 UTC deploy to 11 AM local time.

Because UTC is fixed, the offset to Pacific changes twice a year. When Pacific springs forward in March, the gap narrows from 8 to 7 hours. When it falls back in November, the gap returns to 8.

Daylight Saving Time: What Changes

US West Coast observes daylight saving time, but Universal does not. This means the offset between UTC and PST changes seasonally: 8 hours during standard time and 7 hours during daylight saving. Double-check the current offset during transition weeks in March and November.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many hours behind UTC is PST?

PST is 8 hours behind UTC. During Daylight Saving Time (PDT), it is 7 hours behind UTC. The shift happens in mid-March and reverts in early November.

When does the UTC-to-PST offset change?

The offset changes when US Daylight Saving Time starts (second Sunday in March, jumping to UTC−7) and ends (first Sunday in November, returning to UTC−8). UTC itself never changes.

If a release is scheduled for 17:00 UTC, what time is that in Pacific?

During standard time (November–March), 17:00 UTC is 9:00 AM PST. During daylight time (March–November), 17:00 UTC is 10:00 AM PDT.
