NST vs PDT: what's the time gap?
PDT is 3 hours and 30 minutes behind NST. In everyday terms, once you know the time on one side you just subtract 3 hours 30 min to get the other — so a call between St. John's and Los Angeles is always 3 hours 30 min apart.
What time is it in PDT right now?
Right now the time in Pacific Daylight Time (PDT) is Monday, June 29, 2026 · 10:53:58 AM. It ticks every second, so you’re always looking at the live PDT clock.
What time is it in NST right now?
And in Newfoundland Standard Time (NST), it’s currently Monday, June 29, 2026 · 2:23:58 PM. Compare the two and the 3 hours 30 min gap is easy to see.
Planning a meeting across NST and PDT?
For example, a 9:00 AM NST meeting takes place at 5:30 AM PDT. The trick is to aim for a slot that lands inside normal working hours on both sides. Once you’ve found a time, hit Share on the converter to copy a link with the time built in — easy to send to a colleague. Juggling three or more zones? The meeting planner highlights the hours that overlap for everyone.
How does daylight saving affect NST to PDT?
The labels NST and PDT are fixed offsets, so the result on this page is always exact. Both regions move their clocks for daylight saving on roughly the same weekends, so the 3 hours 30 min gap usually holds steady right through the year.
Why can you trust this NST to PDT converter?
Every conversion here is calculated from the IANA time zone database — the same source your phone, computer, and browser rely on. Plenty of tools hard-code a single offset, which quietly goes wrong whenever a region changes its rules or flips for daylight saving. We follow the real rules instead, so NST to PDT stays accurate for today and for any past or future date you type in.

Do NST or PDT use daylight saving time?

Why might the real-world NST–PDT difference change during the year?
The labels NST and PDT are fixed offsets, so this converter is always exact. But Newfoundland Standard Time's region switches between standard and summer time, so for part of the year you may actually want NDT to PDT. Always check which label a region is currently using before you schedule.
