Daylight saving time and the CSTPST gap

Central Time (CST/CDT)US daylight saving time runs from the second Sunday in March to the first Sunday in November (clocks forward at 2:00 AM). UTC offset in January: UTC−6; in July: UTC−5.

Pacific Time (PST/PDT)US daylight saving time runs from the second Sunday in March to the first Sunday in November (clocks forward at 2:00 AM). UTC offset in January: UTC−8; in July: UTC−7.

Because the offset between the two never changes, you can memorize one rule: subtract 2 hours.
