Santa Cruz to Paris Times List

I live in Santa Cruz, CA, USA. Because we do that whole “daylight savings” thing in the “non winter” we are effectivly two time zones.

  • Pacific Standard Time [PST] which is -8 hours UTC
  • Pacific Daylight Time [PSD] which is -7 hours UTC - starts mid March (10th 2013) and goes til early November (3rd 2013).

I work with a bunch of wonderful people in Paris, France. Paris also does that whole “daylight savings” thing.

  • Central European Time [CET] which is +1 hours UTC
  • Central European Summer Time [CEST] which is +2 hours UTC - starts late March (31st 2013) and goes til late October (27 2013)

In France they use a 24 hour clock and in the states we use AM and PM.
