Things You Should Know: North American Time Zones

admin

We don’t think about lots of things every day. Once in a while, though, somebody asks a simple question, and suddenly everybody realizes how much basic information we can forget.

NORTH AMERICAN TIME ZONES

  • Alaska Standard (UTC-9)
  • Pacific Standard (UTC-8)
  • Mountain Standard (UTC-7)
  • Central Standard (UTC-6)
  • Eastern Standard (UTC-5)
  • Atlantic Standard (UTC-4)
  • Newfoundland Standard (UTC-3:30)

If you want to go full North American, add Alaska before Pacific.

“Pac Man Can Eat All Night” is the acronym I use to remember the order. I’ll have to remember it as “A Pac Man Can Eat All Night” now, to go full North American.
