Alaska Daylight Time

Alaska Daylight Time or AKDT has a UTC offset of - 8:00. This means that the time zone is 8 hours behind Coordinated Universal Time. The time zone is primarily observed by territories in North America (Alaska) during the summer months when Daylight Saving is active. As soon as Daylight Saving ends – during the winter – some affected areas switch to Alaska Standard Time or AKST.

It is important to note that this time zone has a couple labels:
