About Greenwich Mean Time (GMT)

Greenwich Mean Time (GMT, IANA: Europe/London) is the historic and current civil time of the United Kingdom (during winter), Ireland (during winter), Portugal mainland (during winter), Iceland (year-round), and most West African countries. GMT is set at UTC+0 — the time on the Prime Meridian (0° longitude) running through the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, southeast London. Established as the global time reference by the 1884 International Meridian Conference in Washington DC, GMT served as the world's primary civil-time reference from 1884 until 1972 when UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) was adopted as the new precision standard. The UK switches from GMT to British Summer Time (BST = UTC+1) at 01:00 GMT on the last Sunday of March and back to GMT at 02:00 BST on the last Sunday of October per EU Directive 2000/84/EC (UK retained this schedule after Brexit). GMT affects: London Stock Exchange (LSE) trading hours, BBC World Service broadcast time-stamps, all aviation NOTAMs and weather METARs which use UTC = GMT, and ICAO + IMO worldwide maritime/aviation coordination.

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.
