PST is 3 hours ahead of SST.

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 PT to SST. For daylight-time examples, use PDT to SST.

How the time difference changes

For most of the year, PDT is 4 hours ahead of SST. From Nov 1, 2026 to Mar 14, 2027, PST is 3 hours ahead of SST.

For most of the year, working hours of 9:00 am to 5:00 pm in PDT correspond to 5:00 am to 1:00 pm in SST. At other times of the year, working hours of 9:00 am to 5:00 pm in PST correspond to 6:00 am to 2:00 pm in SST.For most of the year, working hours of 09:00 to 17:00 in PDT correspond to 05:00 to 13:00 in SST. At other times of the year, working hours of 09:00 to 17:00 in PST correspond to 06:00 to 14:00 in SST.
