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 West Africa Time (WAT)
West Africa Time (WAT, IANA: Africa/Lagos, Africa/Kinshasa) is the civil time for West African and Central African countries, set at UTC+1:00 year-round (no DST). WAT serves approximately 350 million people across: Algeria, Angola, Benin, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, DR Congo (western half), Republic of Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, Niger, Nigeria, São Tomé and Príncipe, Tunisia. WAT is the same offset as Central European Time (CET) in winter, easing African business coordination with Western European partners. Major WAT cities: Lagos Nigeria (15M metro — the largest city in Africa and home to one of the world's fastest-growing populations), Kinshasa DRC (17M metro), Algiers (3.7M metro), Tunis (2.4M metro), Yaoundé (2.8M), Douala (2.7M), Brazzaville (1.8M), Luanda (8M metro), N'Djamena (1.4M). The eastern half of the DRC uses Central Africa Time (CAT = UTC+2). Affects: Nollywood film-industry production in Lagos, African Union meetings, Lagos NGX (Nigerian Exchange Group) trading hours, and Lagos-São Paulo + Lagos-Buenos Aires Atlantic-shipping schedules.
