PST vs UTC
Pacific Time (US & Canada) (PST/PDT) is UTC−8 in winter and UTC−7 in summer. Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) is UTC+0 year-round.
Because Pacific Time (US & Canada) observes daylight saving and the other zone does not, the gap changes during the year: 8 hours ahead in the northern winter and 7 hours ahead in summer, with a few weeks in spring and autumn where it's an hour different again. The converter uses the exact rules for the date you choose.

Scheduling between PST and UTC
The working-day overlap is a few hours: morning in the zone that's behind matches afternoon in the zone that's ahead. For example, 9 AM PST is 4:00 PM UTC. Always write the city alongside the abbreviation in invites — several abbreviations (CST, IST, AST) are used by more than one region.
