Los Angeles, United States

Los Angeles follows Pacific Standard Time (PST) at UTC−8 during winter and Pacific Daylight Time (PDT) at UTC−7 through the warmer months. Its position on the West Coast makes it the last major U.S. city to start the business day.

An 8 AM meeting in LA catches New York at 11 AM, London at 4 PM, and Tokyo already past midnight. Hollywood studios and Silicon Beach tech companies regularly navigate these gaps when coordinating global releases and product launches.

Home to the entertainment industry, aerospace giants, and a thriving tech scene, Los Angeles drives a massive volume of cross-border communication with partners across the Pacific Rim.
