ADT and PST examples

These examples always use ADT (UTC-3) and PST (UTC-8). They stay the same when you change the date or time above. The selected conversion may differ when daylight saving time applies.

ADT is 5 hours ahead of PST.

PST uses UTC-8 during standard time. For Pacific Time that follows daylight saving time, use ADT to PT. For daylight-time examples, use ADT to PDT.

How the time difference changes

For most of the year, ADT is 4 hours ahead of PDT. At other times of the year, AST is 4 hours ahead of PST. Briefly around clock changes, ADT is 5 hours ahead of PST or AST is 3 hours ahead of PDT.

For most of the year, working hours of 9:00 am to 5:00 pm in ADT correspond to 5:00 am to 1:00 pm in PDT. At other times of the year, working hours of 9:00 am to 5:00 pm in AST correspond to 5:00 am to 1:00 pm in PST.

Compare ADT time with PST time, including current local time, UTC offsets, time difference, daylight saving changes, working hours, and shareable meeting times.
