Conversions
Converting values between the UK and Canada can require some thought, so I’ll put useful numbers up here as I think of them.
Time
Daylight saving time changes on different Sundays.
For October 25th – 31st 2009, take 1 hour off the UK time.
For March 14th – 27th 2010, add 1 hour to the UK time.
| Time in UK (GMT/BST) | Time in Vancouver, Canada (PST/PDT) |
|---|---|
| 8am | 12am (midnight before) |
| 12pm (midday) | 4am |
| 5pm | 9am |
| 8pm | 12pm (midday) |
| 10pm | 2pm |
| 12pm (midnight) |
4pm |
