Clock rules in Kamloops

Kamloops keeps MST (UTC−7) all year, the clock of most of British Columbia. Not all of British Columbia is on it: CST (UTC−6) all year in the area tzdata describes as “CST - AB, BC(E), NT(E), SK(W)”. tzdata describes Kamloops’s zone, America/Vancouver, as “MST - BC (most areas)”.

There is no daylight saving time; the last summer time here was in 2024.

tzdata also changed the abbreviation on November 1, 2026 (for example from PDT to MST) without moving the clocks. Older phones and browsers that have not received the 2026 tzdata update may still show the old abbreviation or, worse, fall back an hour: the clock on this page uses our own copy of tzdata and is not affected.

That is the summer offset Kamloops kept when it stopped changing its clocks in 2026. tzdata has written it as MST since November 1, 2026, the abbreviation used elsewhere in North America for UTC−7 all year; before that, the same offset was PDT.

Local mean solar time at 120.32° W is UTC−8:01, so the clock runs 1 h 1 min ahead of the sun: it is highest at about 1:01 PM.

Kamloops has kept the same clocks as Vancouver since at least 1970; the zone’s rules, coming changes and history are on the America/Vancouver page.
