About converting AEST to PST
Australian Eastern Time (Sydney) and Pacific Time (Los Angeles) are in different time zones, so a meeting, call or stream that's convenient in one may be early or late in the other. The clocks above update live and account for daylight saving automatically, so the time difference you see is the real one for today — not a fixed number that goes stale twice a year.
To plan across the two, type a time into the AEST box (or tap a quick preset) and read the PST equivalent, including a "next day" or "previous day" note when the conversion crosses midnight. For any other pair of zones or cities, use the full timezone converter.
AEST vs PST: the time difference through the year
The gap between AEST and PST changes during the year because they switch to and from daylight saving on different dates.
