Does the answer change during the year?

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

  • October 14 to October 31: 12 AM UTC = 5 PM PST the previous day
  • November 1 to March 13: 12 AM UTC = 4 PM PST the previous day
  • March 14 to October 13: 12 AM UTC = 5 PM PST the previous day

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