What is the difference in hours between PDT and PST?

Answer 1

The sun (appears to) get to Pacific Daylight Time 3 hours after it gets to Eastern Daylight time. After following the moronic mindless tradition of daylight pretending time, Subtract 3 from the current time in EDT to find the current time in PDT. If it is 8 o'clock in EDT it is 5 o'clock in PDT. Or add 3 to PDT. If it is noon PDT, it is 3 o'clock EDT.

Answer 2

EST is 2 hours ahead of PDT, so if it's 11:00am EST, it's 9:00am PDT.

EST = Eastern Standard Time. This is the time reference in WINTER on the USA east coast, and year 'round in some parts of South America.

PDT = Pacific Daylight Time. This is the time reference in SUMMER on the USA west coast.

Example: During the summer, Panama (EST, because Panama doesn't observe Daylight Saving Time) is 2 hours ahead of California (PDT).

Answer 3

Technically it is 1 hrDaylight Saving Time goes into affect on the second Sunday March at 2am (local time) and reverts to Standard Time on the first Sunday in November. Clocks are moved ahead 1 hr in March and moved back 1 hr in November. Since Arizona, which is in the Mountain Time Zone, does not observe Daylight Savings Time, California will be the same time as Arizona during DST and 1 hr behind during Standard Time.

Answer 4

Pacific Daylight Time (PDT) is 1 hour ahead of Pacific Standard Time (PST). So, to calculate the time difference between PDT and PST, you would subtract 1 hour from PDT to get PST.
