Pierre & Miquelon Daylight Time (PMDT) operates at UTC−2 and is observed during the summer months in Saint Pierre and Miquelon, a French territorial collectivity off the coast of Newfoundland, Canada. PMDT is the daylight saving alternative to Pierre & Miquelon Standard Time (PMST), which is UTC−3 in winter. Sometimes called "Saint Pierre Daylight Time," PMDT helps extend daylight into the evening during summer.
Importance and Global Use of PMDT
PMDT is important for maximizing usable daylight during the longer summer days, supporting tourism, outdoor recreation, and local commerce in Saint Pierre and Miquelon. The time shift allows businesses, schools, and public services to align their schedules better with daylight hours, improving energy use and quality of life during the busy summer period.
Internationally, PMDT helps synchronize Saint Pierre and Miquelon's time with other daylight saving regions in North America and Europe. This alignment simplifies coordination of travel, shipping, and communications with mainland France, Canada, and neighboring Atlantic provinces, supporting trade and cultural ties across the North Atlantic region.
