About PDT
Pacific Daylight Time (PDT) is UTC−7. It is used in Los Angeles, San Francisco and Seattle from March to November.
Pacific Daylight Time is UTC−7, the summer clock for Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle and Vancouver. It is the zone most product launches and software release times are quoted in, and it is worth converting rather than eyeballing: PDT is eight hours behind British Summer Time, not seven, because both sides have moved.
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.
Does this gap change with the seasons?
This gap is seasonal. The abbreviations themselves are fixed offsets, but the region on PDT switches to PST (UTC−8) from November to March. So the 10-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.
