When the difference changes
Central European 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:
- Now – March 14, 2027Pacific Time is 9 hours behind
- March 14, 2027 – March 28, 2027Pacific Time is 8 hours behind
- March 28, 2027 – October 31, 2027Pacific Time is 9 hours behind
- October 31, 2027 – November 7, 2027Pacific Time is 8 hours behind
- November 7, 2027 – onwardsPacific Time is 9 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.

Scheduling between the two
There is no overlap between a nine-to-six working day in Paris and one in Los Angeles — the gap is too wide. A call has to sit early or late for one side. Early morning in Paris is the usual compromise, since that is late afternoon or evening in Los Angeles.
Central European Time (CET) is used in Berlin, Madrid, Rome, Amsterdam, Warsaw and Stockholm
