DevBentoUTC to PST: Convert UTC to Pacific Time
Convert UTC to PST instantly. See the time difference between Coordinated Universal Time and Pacific Standard Time, including DST shifts.
UTC to PST Conversion
Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) is the global reference clock. Pacific Standard Time (PST) runs 8 hours behind it. When it is 12:00 PM UTC, it is 4:00 AM PST in Los Angeles. From March to November the West Coast switches to Pacific Daylight Time (PDT, UTC-7) and the gap narrows to 7 hours.
Conversion Table
| UTC | PST (winter) | PDT (summer) |
|---|---|---|
| 12:00 AM | 4:00 PM prev day | 5:00 PM prev day |
| 6:00 AM | 10:00 PM prev day | 11:00 PM prev day |
| 12:00 PM | 4:00 AM | 5:00 AM |
| 4:00 PM | 8:00 AM | 9:00 AM |
| 8:00 PM | 12:00 PM | 1:00 PM |
| 11:00 PM | 3:00 PM | 4:00 PM |
Working Across the Gap
The 8 hour offset leaves a narrow live overlap: late UTC afternoons line up with West Coast mornings. Teams bridge it with written standups and recorded demos, reserving the 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM UTC slot for anything that truly needs both sides awake.
Common Use Cases
- Deploy windows: 8:00 PM UTC is noon PST, a safe deploy hour for West Coast users
- Support handoff: EU teams ending their day hand open tickets to California mornings
- Cron jobs: a 9:00 AM PST job fires at 5:00 PM UTC in winter, 4:00 PM UTC in summer
