About Mountain Daylight Time (MDT)

Mountain Daylight Time (MDT, IANA: America/Denver during DST window) is the summer-time variant of MST, set at UTC-6:00 — observed from the second Sunday in March to the first Sunday in November per the Energy Policy Act of 2005. MDT shares the same UTC offset as Central Standard Time (CST), which can cause cross-time-zone scheduling confusion during the DST transition windows in March and November. The Navajo Nation in northeastern Arizona does observe MDT (unlike the rest of Arizona), creating one of the rare US sub-state time-zone exceptions per the Navajo Nation Council's 1968 resolution. MDT applies in Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho east, New Mexico, parts of Texas, and Canadian Rocky Mountain provinces (Alberta, eastern BC). Used in coordination of: Denver International Airport flight operations, ski-area lift hours during shoulder-season DST window, Yellowstone National Park ranger schedules, US National Renewable Energy Lab operations, and FAA Albuquerque ARTCC ATC operations.

About Pacific Daylight Time (PDT)

Pacific Daylight Time (PDT, IANA: America/Los_Angeles during DST window) is the summer-time variant of PST, set at UTC-7:00 — observed from the second Sunday in March to the first Sunday in November per the Energy Policy Act of 2005, which extended the US DST window by ~4 weeks compared to the prior Uniform Time Act of 1966 schedule. PDT is the same offset as Mountain Standard Time (MST), creating a confusing situation where Arizona (which doesn't observe DST and stays on MST year-round) shares the same clock as California during summer months but is one hour behind during winter. PDT is used by ~50 million people in California, Oregon, Washington, Nevada, British Columbia, Yukon, and Baja California Norte. Affects: West-Coast NYSE/Nasdaq market open shifts to 06:30 PDT, professional sports West Coast game-time broadcasts to East Coast PDT prime time, and US Pacific Fleet operations from Naval Base San Diego.
