About these two clocks
AEST — Australian Eastern Time. Used in Sydney, Melbourne, Canberra (Brisbane stays on AEST all year). AEST is the winter name; from early October to early April Sydney clocks run on AEDT (UTC+11). Southern-hemisphere summer means the switch happens in the opposite months to the US and Europe.
PST — Pacific Time. Used in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Vancouver. PST is the winter name; from March to November the same clocks show PDT (UTC−7).
All figures on this page come from the IANA time zone database (the same data your phone and laptop use), evaluated for the date in question. Abbreviations are ambiguous — “IST” also means Irish or Israel Standard Time, and “CST” is China Standard Time in Asia — so this page uses Australia/Sydney and America/Los_Angeles explicitly.
