- PST = UTC−8
- PDT = UTC−7
- PT depends on the date
| Conversion | Difference | 14:00 UTC |
|---|---|---|
| UTC → PST | −8 hours | 6:00 AM PST |
| UTC → PDT | −7 hours | 7:00 AM PDT |
| UTC → Pacific Time | Depends on the date | 6:00 AM / 7:00 AM |
UTC to PST vs UTC to PDT
A UTC time always converts to one West Coast time. The local clock can still repeat. On November 1, 2026, Los Angeles leaves daylight saving. Both of these UTC times read 1:30 AM on the West Coast — one is PDT, the other is PST.
| UTC | Los Angeles |
|---|---|
| 08:30 UTC | 1:30 AM PDT |
| 09:30 UTC | 1:30 AM PST |
When the clocks spring forward
On March 8, 2026, Pacific Time skips 2:00 AM. 09:30 UTC is 1:30 AM PST. 10:00 UTC is 3:00 AM PDT. There is no 2:30 AM that morning.
How to Convert UTC to PST
Subtract 8 hours. 14:00 UTC is 6:00 AM PST; 19:00 UTC is 11:00 AM PST. Early UTC hours land on the previous calendar day — 02:00 UTC is 6:00 PM PST the day before.
For California time, choose UTC → Pacific Time and pick a date. Winter subtracts 8 hours (PST); daylight saving subtracts 7 hours (PDT). If you need Eastern Time instead, use the UTC to EST Converter.
