Scheduling Across PST and EST
For professionals scheduling meetings between PST and EST, finding overlapping business hours is essential. Standard business hours are typically 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM in each time zone. Given the 3 hours difference, the window of overlap may be limited. Use the highlighted working hours in the conversion table above to quickly identify suitable meeting times.
Daylight Saving Time Considerations
PST observes Daylight Saving Time, switching to PDT (UTC-7) during summer months. EST observes DST, switching to EDT (UTC-4). During DST transitions, the time difference between these zones may temporarily change by 1 hour. Always verify the current offset during spring and fall transition periods.
