Does the answer change during the year?

Yes. Pacific Time and Coordinated Universal Time don't change their clocks on the same dates, so over the next 12 months:

  • October 14 to October 31: 6 PM PST = 1 AM UTC the next day
  • November 1 to March 13: 6 PM PST = 2 AM UTC the next day
  • March 14 to October 13: 6 PM PST = 1 AM UTC the next day

Pacific Time switches between PST and PDT for daylight saving time; people often say PST all year.
