This PST to GMT converter turns any time in Pacific Standard Time (PST) into Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), using your device clock so daylight saving is applied automatically. GMT is 8 hours ahead of PST when both zones are on standard time, and 7 hours ahead during the summer months when clocks have shifted. PST is UTC−8 (PDT: UTC−7); GMT is UTC+0.
PST covers Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle; GMT covers Accra, Dakar, London in winter. Because only PST observes daylight saving time, the difference is not constant through the year. The tables below show both cases, and the converter at the top always uses the rule in force on the date you pick.

Frequently asked questions
What is the time difference between PST and GMT?
GMT is 8 hours ahead of PST on standard time. During daylight saving the gap changes to 7 hours. That comes from the UTC offsets: PST is UTC−8 and GMT is UTC+0. For example, 9 am PST = 5 pm GMT, and in summer 9 am PST = 4 pm GMT.
Is GMT ahead of or behind PST?
GMT is 8 hours ahead of PST, so when it is noon in PST it is 8 pm in GMT. Ahead means the clock there already shows a later time; a call at 5 pm PST lands at 1 am GMT.
Does PST or GMT observe daylight saving time in 2026?
PST switches to PDT (UTC−7) on March 8 and back on November 1 in 2026. GMT keeps UTC+0 all year. Between those dates the difference in the table above shifts by an hour, which is the usual cause of missed calls in spring and autumn.
What is the best time for a meeting between PST and GMT?
Office hours (9 am to 5 pm) do not overlap at all with a 8 hours difference. The least painful options are early morning in PST or early evening in GMT; for example 8 am PST = 4 pm GMT and 6 pm PST = 2 am GMT the next day. Rotate the inconvenient slot between the two sides for recurring calls.
Which cities use PST and GMT?
PST (Pacific Standard Time) is used in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Vancouver. GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) is used in Accra, Dakar, London in winter. Note that the United Kingdom is only on GMT in winter; from late March to late October London runs on British Summer Time, one hour ahead, so use the BST pages for UK business hours in summer.
