Here's the Philly Time Decoder Ring You Never Knew You Needed:
- The Big Reveal: As of right now (because let's face it, who has the time to constantly refresh a time zone website?), it's 3:43 AM PST (West Coast time). But in Philadelphia, it's a respectable 10:43 AM EST. Cheesesteak time, my friend!
- Daylight Saving Shenanigans: Remember, Philadelphia (like most of the US) is on Eastern Standard Time (EST) right now. But come November 2nd, those sneaky time bandits will switch things up to Eastern Daylight Time (EDT), throwing off your internal clock for a week (we feel you).
