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.
About Alaska Standard Time (AKST)
Alaska Standard Time (AKST, IANA: America/Anchorage and America/Juneau) is the time zone for most of the State of Alaska, set at UTC-9:00. AKST is observed from the first Sunday in November to the second Sunday in March per the Uniform Time Act of 1966 + Energy Policy Act of 2005; Alaska switches to Alaska Daylight Time (AKDT = UTC-8:00) for the remainder of the year. The vast Alaska time zone covers ~3,200 km east-to-west — from Ketchikan to Atka in the Aleutians — and is the only US time zone that spans more than 1,000 miles longitudinally, meaning solar-noon in different Alaska cities varies by over an hour from local clock time. Major population centers: Anchorage (~290,000), Fairbanks (~95,000), Juneau state capital (~32,000). Used in coordination of cruise-ship schedules through the Inside Passage, North Slope oil-pipeline operations, US Air Force JBER and Eielson AFB activities, and Alaska commercial fishing season openings managed by ADF&G.
