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.
