The Pacific Time Zone observes Standard Time by subtracting eight hours from Coordinated Universal Time ( UTC-8 ). During Daylight Saving Time , its Time Offset is UTC-7 .
The zone is one hour ahead of the Alaska Time Zone and one hour behind the Mountain Time Zone . In the United States , the states of Washington and California are located entirely within the Pacific Time Zone. Nearly all of Nevada , except for the town of West Wendover is on Pacific Time , although certain small towns near the Idaho border, such as Jackpot , observe Mountain Standard Time on an unofficial basis. Additionally, the northern part of Idaho (the Idaho Panhandle ) and all of Oregon except for the greater part of Malheur County are also in the zone. In Canada , it includes almost all of the province of British Columbia , except for the Highway 95 corridor and portions around Fort St. John , all of the Yukon Territory and Tungsten , Northwest Territories . In Mexico , the state of Baja California is wholly within and the only part of Mexico in PST. Most of the Pacific Time zone observes Pacific Daylight Time ('''PDT''', ''' UTC-7 ''') during the summer months, with the exception of the areas surrounding Dawson Creek and Creston in British Columbia . The local time (PST, UTC-8) changes to PDT (UTC-7) at 02:00 LST (local standard time) to 03:00 LDT (local daylight time) on the first Sunday in April, and returns at 02:00 LDT to 01:00 LST on the last Sunday in October.
