When the difference changes

Australian Western Standard Time and Pacific Time do not change their clocks on the same dates, so the gap between them is not the same all year. Most converters show only today’s figure. These are the periods ahead:

  1. Now – March 14, 2027Pacific Time is 16 hours behind
  2. March 14, 2027 – November 7, 2027Pacific Time is 15 hours behind
  3. November 7, 2027 – onwardsPacific Time is 16 hours behind

Periods shorter than a day are not listed. Each zone changes at its own local time, so on a date when both move there are a few hours when the gap is briefly something else.

Daylight saving

Clocks go forward one hour — 2:00 am becomes 3:00 am local time, and the zone is on PDT after that.
