|---|---|---|---|
| Now to March 14, 2027 | 10 hours ahead | None | 5:30 PM / 7:30 AM |
| March 14, 2027 to April 30, 2027 clocks in San Diego go forward | 9 hours ahead | None | 5 PM / 8 AM |
| April 30, 2027 to October 28, 2027 clocks in Cairo go forward | 10 hours ahead | None | 5:30 PM / 7:30 AM |
| October 28, 2027 to November 7, 2027 clocks in Cairo go back | 9 hours ahead | None | 5 PM / 8 AM |
| November 7, 2027 onward clocks in San Diego go back | 10 hours ahead | None | 5:30 PM / 7:30 AM |
San Diego keeps the same clock as San Francisco.
