What HST means

HST stands for Hawaii-Aleutian Standard Time, UTC−10. It is used in Hawaii (all year) and the western Aleutian Islands (in winter).

It is a standard (winter) time. Places on HST that observe daylight saving time switch to HDT (UTC−9) in summer, so HST is a fixed offset while the local clock is not.

Where and when HST is used

1 zone uses HST all year. 1 zone uses it for part of the year only, switching to daylight saving time in the other months. Computed from tzdata under the current rules.

Every column is a fixed offset, so this table is valid on any date. Remember that the regions behind some columns switch to summer time (EST to EDT, CET to CEST, GMT to BST); the clock in those cities is then an hour later than the column.
