Computed on a date when PDT is genuinely in force — using today would be wrong for half the year, because a standard-time abbreviation does not exist in summer.

Common questions
What is the difference between PDT and UTC?
UTC is 7 hours ahead of PDT. PDT means Pacific Daylight Time at UTC-7, and UTC means Coordinated Universal Time at UTC+0.
Which time zone does this page use for PDT?
America/Los_Angeles. An abbreviation is not a time zone — it is a label a zone wears for part of the year — so every calculation here uses a named IANA zone and says which one. If you are writing code, use America/Los_Angeles rather than the string "PDT".
Is PDT a daylight saving abbreviation?
Yes. PDT only exists during the daylight saving part of the year; outside it, the same zone is on a different abbreviation and a different offset.
