MEZ and PST (US winter time, UTC-8) examples

These examples always use MEZ (UTC+1) 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.

MEZ is 9 hours ahead of PST.

PST is US Pacific winter time (early November to mid-March). The rest of the year Los Angeles uses PDT (UTC-7), one hour later. For Pacific Time that follows daylight saving time, use MEZ to PT. For daylight-time examples, use CEST to PDT.

How the time difference changes

For most of the year, CEST is 9 hours ahead of PDT. From Oct 25 to Nov 1, 2026, and from Mar 14 to Mar 28, 2027, MEZ is 8 hours ahead of PDT. From Nov 1, 2026 to Mar 14, 2027, MEZ is 9 hours ahead of PST.

For most of the year, working hours of 9:00 am to 6:00 pm in CEST correspond to 12:00 am to 9:00 am in PDT. At other times of the year, working hours of 9:00 am to 6:00 pm in MEZ correspond to 12:00 am to 9:00 am in PST or working hours of 9:00 am to 6:00 pm in MEZ correspond to 1:00 am to 10:00 am in PDT.For most of the year, working hours of 09:00 to 18:00 in CEST correspond to 00:00 to 09:00 in PDT. At other times of the year, working hours of 09:00 to 18:00 in MEZ correspond to 00:00 to 09:00 in PST or working hours of 09:00 to 18:00 in MEZ correspond to 01:00 to 10:00 in PDT.

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