When IST is at 12:30 PM, the PDT is at 12:30 AM, but today when IST was at 12:30 PM, the PDT is at 11:30 PM. I just saw because new daily leetcode challenge is not uploaded at the usual time of 12:30 PM IST. Can anyone tell me how is that possible?
IST: Indian Standard Time
PST: Pacific Standard Time
PDT: Pacific Daylight Time
PT: Pacific Time
Edit 1: I know that leetcode uses PDT and I also know that IST to PDT has difference over 12.5 hours but now all over the internet it is of 13.5 hours.
Edit 2: Okay now I get it why there is sudden change. Those who are having the same problem refer here. In the article it is written that USA in summer uses PDT while in winter they use PST. And the absolute difference between PST and PDT is 1 hour. That is why according to IST, daily leetcode challenge will be uploaded 1 hour later in winter in comparison with summer time.
Summer: [May - Oct]
Winter : [Nov - April]
The new thing that I learnt today is PT uses PDT in summer and PST in winter. Next time you see this 1 hour lag then the answer is there is change in season ;)
