When the difference changes

Pacific Time and Australian Western Standard 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, 2027Australian Western Standard Time is 16 hours ahead
  2. March 14, 2027 – November 7, 2027Australian Western Standard Time is 15 hours ahead
  3. November 7, 2027 – onwardsAustralian Western Standard Time is 16 hours ahead

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

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.

Australian Western Standard Time

No clock changes

Australian Western Standard Time stays on AWST all year, so its offset from UTC never moves.
