Why “10 AM PST in EST” is a common search
10 AM Pacific is a popular time for west‑coast businesses to connect with east‑coast colleagues. When it’s 10 AM in LA, it’s 1 PM in New York—perfect for a lunchtime meeting on the east coast. Knowing the exact conversion avoids missed calls.
Real‑world examples:
- Cross‑country meetings: 10 AM PT / 1 PM ET works well for both coasts.

How the conversion works: PST vs PDT, EST vs EDT
Pacific Time is either PST (UTC‑8) or PDT (UTC‑7). Eastern is EST (UTC‑5) or EDT (UTC‑4). The standard difference is 3 hours. Both zones observe daylight saving together, so the 3‑hour gap remains constant year‑round. However, the zone abbreviations switch.
When it’s 10 AM PDT (summer), it’s 1 PM EDT. When it’s 10 AM PST (winter), it’s 1 PM EST. Always 3 hours ahead.
Common mistakes when converting 10 AM PST to EST
- Forgetting that 10 AM PT is mid‑morning, but 1 PM ET is early afternoon. Plan lunch meetings accordingly.
- Assuming the date changes. It never does—3 hours never crosses midnight.
- Using a fixed offset without checking DST. But because the offset is always 3 hours, you’re safe.
