Why people convert ART to PST time
- Scheduling a call from ART to PST: a 10:00 AM start in ART lands at 5:00 AM in PST, so you can confirm the slot without doing the arithmetic yourself.
- Finding shared working hours: both ART and PST are inside the 9-to-5 working day between 2:00 PM and 5:00 PM ART time (9:00 AM–12:00 PM PST). That is roughly 3 hours of usable overlap.
- Booking travel or deliveries: tracking PST local time against ART keeps pickup windows and arrival estimates honest across the -5h offset.
- Always state the zone abbreviation, not just the hour. "3:00 PM ART" is unambiguous; "3 PM" across a -5h gap is not.
- Block 2:00 PM–5:00 PM ART as the recurring meeting window if you work primarily from ART and need PST colleagues present.
