About Central European Summer Time (CEST)

Central European Summer Time (CEST, IANA: Europe/Berlin during DST window) is the summer-time variant of CET, set at UTC+2:00 — observed from the last Sunday of March to the last Sunday of October per EU Directive 2000/84/EC. CEST shares the same UTC offset as Eastern European Time (EET) (used by Greece, Romania, Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Bulgaria, Cyprus during winter), and is one hour ahead of Western European Summer Time (WEST). The 2018 European Commission proposal to abolish DST (with countries choosing to permanently stay on either standard time or summer time) has been delayed indefinitely as of 2024. CEST serves the same ~460 million population as CET across 27 European countries. The 'spring forward' transition at 02:00 CET on the last Sunday of March is one of the largest single coordinated time changes in human history. Affects: All European TV broadcast schedules (Eurovision Song Contest broadcast time), F1 European-round race start times, summer-music-festival schedules (Tomorrowland, Sziget, Glastonbury — UK on BST), and tourism arrival/check-in times in major European cities.

About Pacific Standard Time (PST)

Pacific Standard Time (PST, IANA: America/Los_Angeles) is the standard time zone for the US West Coast and Canadian westernmost provinces, set at UTC-8:00. PST is observed from the first Sunday in November to the second Sunday in March per the Uniform Time Act of 1966; the region switches to Pacific Daylight Time (PDT = UTC-7:00) the rest of the year. PST is used by ~50 million people in California, Oregon, Washington, Nevada (most), British Columbia, Yukon Territory, and the Mexican states of Baja California Norte. Major cities: Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego, Seattle, Portland, Sacramento, Las Vegas, Vancouver BC. PST is the time zone of US tech hubs (Silicon Valley, Seattle, Vancouver) — global software-release coordination, Big-Tech corporate-earnings calls, Hollywood production schedules, and NYSE/Nasdaq market hours (PST 06:30-13:00) all reference PST/PDT. Mexico abolished DST nationwide in 2022 except for border zones, complicating Baja conversions.
