See the live UTC time next to the current time in Canada (Pacific), check today's real offset, and roll through any UTC time to find the matching PT time — including when the two zones fall on different dates.

THE CLOCKS ABOVE ALWAYS SHOW THE LIVE CURRENT TIME. THE ROLLER BELOW IS A LOOKUP TOOL — ROTATING IT NEVER CHANGES THEM.
PT is 8 hours behind UTC
GMT/BST is 1 hour ahead of UTC
Canada (Pacific) is 9 hours behind United Kingdom

Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) is the world's time standard: it never shifts for seasons and every other zone is described as an offset from it. Pacific Time (PT) is the clock used in Canada (Pacific). Converting UTC to PT means adding that offset to the UTC reading.
Canada spans six time zones; Pacific Time covers British Columbia.
Take the UTC time, apply the current PT offset shown in the live panel above, and roll the date forward or back if the result crosses midnight. The interactive roller does all three steps for you: the left drum is UTC, the right drum is PT, and a day badge appears whenever the local date differs.
Because PT observes daylight saving time, the gap to UTC is not fixed — every clock and table on this page is calculated live from the America/Vancouver IANA database, so today's real offset is always what you see.
The reference table below the tool lists every UTC half hour against the matching PT time for today, so you can copy a conversion without touching the roller.
Pacific Canada follows the same daylight saving schedule as the US west coast: UTC -08:00 in winter, UTC -07:00 in summer.
