What GST and PT Actually Are

GST — Gulf Standard Time

Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Muscat. Standing at UTC+4:00 as written, and the region does not change its clocks, so that offset holds all year. GST also refers to South Georgia Time (UTC-2), which you are very unlikely to want.

The Gulf states have never observed daylight saving, so Dubai's offset has been unchanged for decades — unusual stability for a region that grew as fast as it did.

PT — Pacific Time

Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Las Vegas, Vancouver. Standing at UTC-8:00 as written, and the region does change its clocks, so its live offset moves by an hour twice a year. The next change is on Sunday, November 1, 2026, to PST.

Pacific Time anchors the US technology industry, so a great deal of software and scheduling convention is written implicitly around it.

What This Means in Practice

The date changes mid-working-day

For 2 of the eight hours in a normal GST working day, the equivalent PT time falls on a different calendar date. Anything scheduled in that stretch needs the date checked as well as the time, or a Tuesday call quietly becomes a Wednesday one at the other end.

This gap is not fixed

PT changes its clocks and GST does not, so the difference between them moves by an hour twice a year. A recurring meeting set now will drift for one side from Sunday, November 1, 2026 unless someone resets it.

Nearly opposite sides of the clock

At 11 hours apart, one side's morning is the other side's night. Handing work over at the end of a shift usually beats trying to get both parties in the same call.
