How are time zones referred to during standard time and daylight saving time?
Designation of the time of day for specific time zones can be qualified by using the term “standard time” or “daylight time” to indicate which is being followed. For instance, on the United States West Coast, the time of day can be referred to as Pacific standard time (PST) or Pacific daylight time (PDT). Also, for year-round use such as hours-of-operation for a business, the designation can be left off (i.e. Pacific time or PT could be used). This infers “local time” (DST or ST, whichever it is at present).
