UTC to PST — Pacific Time is 8 hours behind

Pacific Time (PST) is 8 hours behind of Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) while both are on standard time. Once daylight saving starts the gap becomes 7 hours behind, so any recurring meeting between these two regions moves by an hour twice a year.

Standard time

8 hours behind

Applies while neither zone is on daylight saving — broadly November to March in the northern hemisphere.

Daylight saving

7 hours behind

Applies while the clocks are forward. This pair does not keep a constant gap, so check the date.

How the two zones line up

Coordinated Universal Time sits at UTC+0 in winter and does not observe daylight saving. Pacific Time sits at UTC−8 and UTC−7 respectively. The difference between those two offsets is the number you add or subtract.

Daylight saving

The overlap is narrow — roughly an hour or two. Protect that window for anything that genuinely needs both parties live.
