What is PST?
Pacific Time covers California, Washington, Oregon and Nevada in the US. British Columbia used it until 2026, but since November 2026 it stays on UTC−7 all year, an hour ahead of Los Angeles in winter. Arizona also stays on UTC−7 (MST) all year, so in summer both show the same time as PDT.
