It converts Pacific Daylight Time (PDT) to Eastern Time so you can schedule calls and deadlines across US time zones accurately.
Is PDT always 3 hours behind Eastern Time?

PST and EST are standard time labels, while PDT and EDT are daylight time labels. The same region switches labels and offsets during the year.
How do I avoid scheduling mistakes across US time zones?
Convert using the correct date and include both time zones in invites, like "2:00 PM PT / 5:00 PM ET." This prevents confusion during DST transitions.
