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.

About Central European Time (CET)

Central European Time (CET, IANA: Europe/Berlin, Europe/Paris) is the civil time during winter for most of continental Western and Central Europe, set at UTC+1:00. CET serves approximately 460 million people across 26 countries: Albania, Andorra, Austria, Belgium, Bosnia, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Germany, Gibraltar, Hungary, Italy, Kosovo, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Malta, Monaco, Montenegro, Netherlands, North Macedonia, Norway, Poland, San Marino, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain (except Canary Islands), Sweden, Switzerland, Vatican City. CET observes Daylight Saving Time (switching to CEST = UTC+2) from the last Sunday of March to the last Sunday of October per EU Directive 2000/84/EC. The European Commission proposed abolishing the twice-yearly clock change in 2018 (with most countries to be permanently on summer time CEST), but final implementation was postponed indefinitely due to Brexit and COVID-19. CET affects: Frankfurt Stock Exchange / Deutsche Börse / Eurex trading hours, Paris Stock Exchange Euronext trading, European Central Bank (ECB) monetary policy meetings, FIFA Champions League match kickoff times (typically 21:00 CET), and the EU Commission Brussels working hours.
