About EAT
East Africa Time (EAT) is UTC+3. It is used in Kenya, Tanzania, Ethiopia, Uganda and Somalia.
East Africa Time is UTC+3 and fixed. Nairobi, Addis Ababa and Dar es Salaam all keep it. Ethiopia additionally uses a clock that counts from dawn rather than midnight for everyday purposes, six hours off the international one, so a time given locally in Addis may need converting twice rather than once.
About PST
Pacific Standard Time (PST) is UTC−8. It is used in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle and Vancouver in winter.
Pacific Standard Time is UTC−8, used by Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle and Vancouver from November to March. As with EST, the abbreviation is written all year in practice — a great deal of software, and most conference invitations from the US west coast, say PST when the sender means PDT. If a time from a US source looks an hour off between March and November, this is almost always why.
Does this gap change with the seasons?
This gap is seasonal. The abbreviations themselves are fixed offsets, but the region on PST switches to PDT (UTC−7) from March to November. So the 11-hour figure on this page is correct for the part of the year when both places are actually on these abbreviations, and changes by an hour outside it.
EAT does not shift, so the whole change comes from one side. A recurring meeting fixed in EAT will appear to move by an hour for everyone on the other side, twice a year, without anyone changing anything.
This is the reason scheduling systems store an IANA zone such as Region/City rather than an offset or an abbreviation: the zone knows its own rules and the offset does not.
