What PST and JST mean here
PST means US Pacific Time: Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Las Vegas and Vancouver. That's PST (UTC−8) in winter and PDT (UTC−7) from March 8 to November 1, 2026. The Philippines also uses "PST" for Philippine Standard Time (UTC+8); for that, search for Manila.
JST (Japan Standard Time) is UTC+9 all year; Japan doesn't use daylight saving time. Tokyo and Osaka are on the same clock. Korea (KST) has the same offset, so the result is also right for Seoul.
