About UTC−7
UTC−7 is 7 hours behind Coordinated Universal Time: when it is noon UTC, it is 5:00 AM at UTC−7.
8 zones keep UTC−7 all year, covering 3 countries or territories: United States, Canada and Mexico.
4 zones use it only in winter and move to UTC−6 in summer, for example Ciudad Juárez, Denver and Boise.
2 zones reach it only in summer, from standard time UTC−8, for example Los Angeles and Tijuana. So the set of places on UTC−7 changes twice a year.
For a fixed offset in software, tzdata provides Etc/GMT+7; note the inverted sign of these POSIX-style names.
Abbreviations for UTC−7: MST (Mountain Standard Time), PDT (Pacific Daylight Time).
UTC−7 and the sun
Across the large cities that keep UTC−7 all year, the clock runs 0 minutes ahead of mean solar time in Tepic (-104.9°) and 73 minutes ahead of it in Richmond (-123.1°). The offset’s own meridian is 105° west: the further a city lies from it, the further its clocks drift from the sun.
Neighbouring offsets: UTC−8 (Adamstown) and UTC−6 (Mexico City and Calgary).
