Understanding 10 AM PDT to EST Conversion
Time Zone Basics
Pacific Daylight Time (PDT) is 3 hours behind Eastern Daylight Time (EDT). This means that 10:00 AM PDT equals 1:00 PM EDT during daylight saving time. During standard time (winter months), 10:00 AM PST equals 1:00 PM EST.
Daylight Saving Impact
Both the Pacific and Eastern time zones observe daylight saving time, typically from March to November. During this period, they are called PDT and EDT respectively. Outside this period, they are PST and EST.
Business Applications
Understanding the 10 AM PDT to EST conversion is crucial for scheduling meetings between the West and East coasts of the United States. A 10 AM meeting in Los Angeles would be at 1 PM in New York.
Geographic Coverage
PDT covers the western United States including California, Washington, and Oregon. EDT covers the eastern United States including New York, Florida, and most of the eastern seaboard.
