About PST and EST

  • Pacific Time is used in California, Washington, Oregon, Nevada, and British Columbia. Pacific Time switches to PDT for daylight saving time from the second Sunday in March to the first Sunday in November.
  • Eastern Time is used in New York, Florida, Georgia, Ontario, and Quebec. Eastern Time switches to EDT for daylight saving time from the second Sunday in March to the first Sunday in November.
  • Both zones change their clocks on the same dates, so the difference stays the same all year.
  • People often say PST all year, but strictly PST is the winter time and PDT is the summer time. This page covers both.
