Juan,

Pacific Time is -0800 in the winter, but -0700 in the summer.  From 1987
through 2006, Pacific Time switches from -0800 to -0700 on the first Sunday
of April (at 2am PST,) and switches from -0700 to -0800 on the last Sunday
of October (at 2am PDT.)

>From 2007 forward, the switch dates will be the second Sunday of March and
the first Sunday of November.

Most US timezones observe DST, and those that do always switch between
"standard time" and "DST" on the same dates (at 2am local time.)  The US
timezones that do NOT observe DST include those for Hawaii (-1000,) Puerto
Rico (-0400,) Arizona other than on Navajo reservations (-0700,) and some
parts of Indiana (some counties are -0500 all year round, while others are
-0600.)

Time zones are far more complicated than most people imagine--especially
when considered over time and worldwide.

Alan,

I wasn't aware Pacific time is -0700. I thought it was -0800. A bit easier
for me then.
Thanks,

Juan
