AKDT stands for Alaska Daylight Time, a time zone abbreviation.

Summer time in most of Alaska, eight hours behind UTC, from the second Sunday in March to the first Sunday in November. It has the same offset as Pacific Standard Time.

Example: Flightseeing tours to Denali depart at 7 a.m. AKDT, weather permitting.

Usage notes

With daylight saving on top of its far-western position in the zone, Anchorage sees solar noon around 2 p.m. in midsummer. Fairbanks gets nearly 22 hours of daylight at the summer solstice, so late-evening sports such as the Midnight Sun Game need no lights.
