How to convert time from British Time (BT) to Pacific Standard Time (PST)
Converting between British Time (BT)
and Pacific Standard Time (PST) could be
challenging. As companies become more global, we find ourselves in
a mess of calendar invites. Time changes from BT cities like London, Birmingham, Manchester, Glasgow are -8 hour(s) apart to PST cities like Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, San Diego, holiday schedules, and the basic
communication becomes a juggling act. To make it easier to
understand, we'll break down the process of converting time
between BT and PST
into step-by-step instructions.
Step 1: Understanding British Time and Pacific Standard Time
British Time is UTC1, which means that the
local time in the British Time zone is 1
hours apart from UTC. Pacific Standard Time is UTC-7,
which means that the local time in the Pacific Standard Time zone is -7 hours apart from UTC.
Step 2: Calculate the Time Difference
To convert time from British Time to Pacific Standard Time, we first need
to find the time difference between both time zones. Since British Time is UTC1 and Pacific Standard Time is UTC-7, the time difference is: -8 hour(s)
-
-8 hours = British Time's difference from UTC -7 + (Pacific Standard Time's difference from UTC 1
-
Pacific Standard Time has -8 hour(s) difference British Time.
Understanding British Time and Pacific Standard Time
British Time is UTC1, which means that the
local time in the British Time zone is 1
hours apart from UTC. Pacific Standard Time is UTC-7,
which means that the local time in the Pacific Standard Time zone is -7 hours apart from UTC.
Step 4: Practice Converting Times
Now that you know the process, try converting different times
from British Time to Pacific Standard Time for practice before going to
the answer page. Remember to always add the Pacific Standard Time time
difference to the British Time time.
