When the difference changes

Moscow 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 11 hours behind
  2. March 14, 2027 – November 7, 2027Pacific Time is 10 hours behind
  3. November 7, 2027 – onwardsPacific Time is 11 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

Moscow Time

No clock changes

Moscow Time stays on MSK all year, so its offset from UTC never moves.

Pacific Time

Sunday, March 14, 2027

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

Scheduling between the two

There is no overlap between a nine-to-six working day in Moscow and one in Los Angeles — the gap is too wide. A call has to sit early or late for one side. Early morning in Moscow is the usual compromise, since that is late afternoon or evening in Los Angeles.

Moscow Time (MSK) is used in western Russia. Russia abolished daylight saving in 2011.

Pacific Time (PST) is used in San Francisco, Seattle, Las Vegas and Vancouver
