When the difference changes
Central Time – Mexico 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 – November 1, 2026Pacific Time is 1 hour behind
- November 1, 2026 – March 14, 2027Pacific Time is 2 hours behind
- March 14, 2027 – onwardsPacific Time is 1 hour behind
Periods shorter than a day are not listed: both zones change at 2am in their own local time, so there are a few hours on each transition date when the gap is briefly something else.

Scheduling between the two
Working hours overlap from 10:00 am to 6:00 pm CST, which is 9:00 am to 5:00 pm PDT. Anything inside that window falls in the normal working day at both ends.
Central Time – Mexico (CST) is used in most of Mexico. Mexico abolished daylight saving in October 2022, so it no longer tracks US Central Time in summer.
Pacific Time (PDT) is used in San Francisco, Seattle, Las Vegas and Vancouver
