Los Angeles → New York
12pm PST to EST
The answer
12pm PST is 15:00 in New York, same day.
This one is stable all year: New York is 3 hours ahead of Los Angeles in every month, because both sides change their clocks together (or neither does).
Both halves of the year
| Period | Los Angeles | New York | Day |
|---|---|---|---|
| Summer | 12:00 | 15:00 | same day |
| Winter | 12:00 | 15:00 | same day |
Daylight saving state
In summer, Los Angeles is on daylight saving time and New York is on daylight saving time. Because the two sides shift together, the gap between them never changes — only the labels do.
The hours either side
| Los Angeles | New York (summer) | New York (winter) |
|---|---|---|
| 10am | 13:00 | 13:00 |
| 11am | 14:00 | 14:00 |
| 12pm | 15:00 | 15:00 |
| 1pm | 16:00 | 16:00 |
| 2pm | 17:00 | 17:00 |
Going the other way
New York runs 3 hours ahead of Los Angeles, so to go back you reverse it. If you are writing this down for someone else, name the cities rather than the abbreviations — “PST” and “EST” are only correct for part of the year, and some abbreviations mean different things in different countries. See EST vs EDT.
