PMDT
St. Pierre & Miquelon Daylight Time
St. Pierre & Miquelon Daylight Time (PMDT) covers the tiny archipelago of Saint Pierre and Miquelon, the last remnants of French territory in North America. Living here means keeping clocks on daylight saving time in sync with parts of Canada, yet with a distinctly local flavor—schedule meetings in UTC−02:00 during summer months and UTC−03:00 the rest of the year.

IANA zones · the technical identifiers
The zone that resolve to PMDT.
For software, always store the IANA identifier — never the abbreviation alone. The database keeps these zones distinct because their rules can, and historically did, diverge.

Frequently asked questions
Common questions about PMDT, daylight saving, and how to handle it in software. Can't find what you need? Email [email protected].
- Why does St. Pierre and Miquelon observe daylight saving time?
- Clocks move forward in spring and back in autumn to align work hours with daylight, a practice inherited from both French and North American customs.
- What happens to PMDT when DST ends?
- At the end of daylight saving, the region shifts back to UTC−03:00, matching the standard time for Saint Pierre and Miquelon.
- How many time zones does Saint Pierre and Miquelon have?
- Just one. The whole territory, including Saint Pierre and Miquelon-Langlade, uses UTC−03:00 in standard time and UTC−02:00 during daylight saving time.
- When does daylight saving time end?
- Daylight saving time ends on the first Sunday in November, when clocks switch back from −02 to −03.
- What makes PMDT unique?
- It belongs to France, yet it follows the North American daylight saving dates rather than the European ones.
- Can I use the same time as Newfoundland in St. Pierre and Miquelon?
- No. Saint Pierre and Miquelon is always 30 minutes ahead of Newfoundland, because both change clocks on the same dates.
