Daylight Saving Time: NZST and PST

NZST — New Zealand Standard Time
Observes DST
Standard: UTC+12:00
DST (NZDT): UTC+13:00
2026: clocks forward 2026-09-27 · back 2026-04-05

New Zealand observes DST from the last Sunday in September to the first Sunday in April. NZST (UTC+12) moves to NZDT (UTC+13) — the furthest ahead any populated zone gets from UTC.

PST — Pacific Time
Observes DST
Standard: UTC−08:00
DST (PDT): UTC−07:00
2026: clocks forward 2026-03-08 · back 2026-11-01

Pacific Time follows US DST rules, moving from PST (UTC−8) to PDT (UTC−7) in March and back in November.

DST effect on this pair: Both zones observe DST, but their transition dates may not align. Between 2026-09-27 and 2026-03-08 (or vice versa in autumn), the gap between NZST and PST will be 1 hour different from the standard offset shown above.
