Current Time in Los Angeles

From the East Coast, noon in New York is 9:00 AM in Los Angeles, so that's the earliest comfortable start for a Los Angeles colleague. From London, 5:00 PM is 9:00 AM in Los Angeles.

Calls with Asia reverse the dates. 9:00 AM in Tokyo is 4:00 PM the previous day in January and 5:00 PM the previous day in July in Los Angeles, and 9:00 AM in Sydney is 2:00 PM the previous day in January and 4:00 PM the previous day in July. Both end up on the previous day on the Los Angeles calendar.

Quick answer: Los Angeles uses PST (UTC-8) in standard time · PDT (UTC-7) during March-November.

Los Angeles uses Pacific Standard Time (PST, UTC-8) in winter and Pacific Daylight Time (PDT, UTC-7) from the second Sunday in March to the first Sunday in November. San Francisco, Seattle, Portland and Las Vegas follow the same America/Los_Angeles clock.

Most of Arizona stays on Mountain Standard Time (UTC-7) all year instead of changing clocks. Phoenix therefore matches Los Angeles in summer and runs an hour ahead of it in winter, so don't treat "Mountain" and "Pacific" as a fixed gap.

Across the Pacific, Los Angeles is the side that moves. 9:00 AM in Los Angeles is 2:00 AM the next day in January and 1:00 AM the next day in July in Tokyo. In Sydney it's 4:00 AM the next day in January and 2:00 AM the next day in July. That's why the Sydney gap alone takes three values (17, 18 and 19 hours) across the year.
