Time zone in Hawaii
All of Hawaii keeps the same time: Hawaii Time (HST, UTC−10) all year.
At UTC−10, Hawaii is among the last inhabited places to finish each day, just east of the date line.
Honolulu lies at 157.9° west, where mean solar time is UTC−10:31 (four minutes per degree of longitude). The clocks run 31 min ahead of the sun, so on average the sun is highest at about 12:31 PM.
Daylight saving time in Hawaii
No. Hawaii has not used daylight saving time since 1942 (it did between 1933 and 1942, according to tzdata’s historical records), and the clocks stay on HST (UTC−10) all year.
Federal law (15 U.S.C. §260a) lets a state exempt itself from daylight saving time; places that do so stay on standard time all year. Hawaii, American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico, the US Virgin Islands and most of Arizona do not observe it.
Clock history of Hawaii
Hawaii has kept the same clocks as Honolulu since at least 1970: tzdata records both under Pacific/Honolulu. There has been no daylight saving time since 1970; the last summer clock change in the record was in 1942. Before 1970 local practice could differ from Honolulu’s, and tzdata does not track it separately; the year-by-year table, which starts with Honolulu’s local mean time, is on the Pacific/Honolulu page.
