Time Conversion Guide: Los Angeles to Norway
Los Angeles runs on Pacific Daylight Time (PDT) at UTC-07:00, currently observing daylight saving time.

Why people convert Los Angeles to Norway time
- Scheduling a call from Los Angeles to Norway: a 10:00 AM start in Los Angeles lands at 7:00 PM in Norway, so you can confirm the slot without doing the arithmetic yourself.
- Handling a +9h gap: Los Angeles and Norway have no overlap inside a normal 9-to-5 day, so real-time meetings need an early-morning or late-evening slot on one side. 9:00 AM in Norway is 6:00 PM in Los Angeles.
- Watching a live event or market open: Los Angeles viewers need 6:00 PM in Norway to catch a 9:00 AM start there, and 3:00 PM if the event is anchored to Los Angeles.
- Always state the zone abbreviation, not just the hour. "3:00 PM PDT" is unambiguous; "3 PM" across a +9h gap is not.
- With a +9h gap there is no shared 9-to-5 window, so alternate the early start: one week Los Angeles takes the early slot, the next week Norway does.
- Los Angeles: Clocks fall back on Sun, Nov 1, 2026. Re-check this page after that date because the offset changes and so does the +9h gap.
- Norway: Clocks fall back on Sun, Oct 25, 2026. Any meeting series spanning that date will shift by an hour in local time.
