About these two clocks
UTC — Coordinated Universal Time. Used in the world reference clock used by servers, aviation and logs. UTC never changes for daylight saving time.
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 UTC and America/Los_Angeles explicitly.
