How to convert PST to UTC? ›

The Pacific Standard Time (PST) is 7 hours behind of Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).

UTC is 8 hours ahead of Pacific Standard Time (e.g., 0000 UTC is 1600 PST the previous day, while 1200 UTC is 0400 PST the same day), and 7 hours ahead of Pacific Daylight Time (e.g., 0000 UTC is 1700 PDT the previous day, while 1200 UTC is 0500 PDT the same day).

Convert UTC time to Pacific Standard Time (North America). PST time zone offset is UTC-08.

Add the local time offset to the UTC time. For example, if your local time offset is -5:00, and if the UTC time is shown as 11:00, add -5 to 11. The time setting when adjusted for offset is 06:00 (6:00 A.M.). Note The date also follows UTC format.

The Pacific Time Zone (PT) is a time zone encompassing parts of western Canada, the western United States, and western Mexico. Places in this zone observe standard time by subtracting eight hours from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC−08:00). During daylight saving time, a time offset of UTC−07:00 is used.

The usage of UTC and GMT is based upon a twenty four hour clock, similar to military time, and is based upon the 0° longitude meridian, referred to as the Greenwich meridian in Greenwich, England.

Prior to 1972, this time was called Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) but is now referred to as Coordinated Universal Time or Universal Time Coordinated (UTC). It is a coordinated time scale, maintained by the Bureau International des Poids et Mesures (BIPM).

Eastern Standard Time (EST), when observing standard time (autumn/winter), are five hours behind Coordinated Universal Time (UTC−05:00). Eastern Daylight Time (EDT), when observing daylight saving time (spring/summer), are four hours behind Coordinated Universal Time (UTC−04:00).

California is 7 hours behind UTC.

Who uses UTC time? ›

Weather forecasts and maps all use UTC to avoid confusion about time zones and daylight saving time. The International Space Station also uses UTC as a time standard. Amateur radio operators often schedule their radio contacts in UTC, because transmissions on some frequencies can be picked up in many time zones.

For example, for PST, the formula should be = C2 - (8/24). To break it down for you: C2 refers to Column C, Row 2. Minus sign because PST is behind UTC time.

Getting the UTC timestamp

datetime. now() to get the current date and time. Then use tzinfo class to convert our datetime to UTC. Lastly, use the timestamp() to convert the datetime object, in UTC, to get the UTC timestamp.

For example, for PST, the formula should be = C2 - (8/24). To break it down for you: C2 refers to Column C, Row 2. Minus sign because PST is behind UTC time.

Coordinated Universal Time + 9 hours

UTC+9 is 14 hours ahead of the time in New York when New York is on standard time, and 13 hours ahead of the time in New York when New York is on daylight saving time. UTC+9 does not change between summer time and winter time.

The current date and time for UTC+1 is Monday, May 06, 2024 10:26 AM.
