About UTC−10

UTC−10 is 10 hours behind Coordinated Universal Time: when it is noon UTC, it is 2:00 AM at UTC−10.

3 zones keep UTC−10 all year, covering 3 countries or territories: United States, French Polynesia and Cook Islands.

1 zone uses it only in winter and moves to UTC−9 in summer, for example Adak.

For a fixed offset in software, tzdata provides Etc/GMT+10; note the inverted sign of these POSIX-style names.

Abbreviations for UTC−10: HST (Hawaii-Aleutian Standard Time), HAST (Hawaii-Aleutian Standard Time (old abbreviation)).

UTC−10 and the sun

Across the large cities that keep UTC−10 all year, the clock runs 2 minutes behind mean solar time in Papeete (-149.6°) and 39 minutes ahead of it in Avarua (-159.8°). The offset’s own meridian is 150° west: the further a city lies from it, the further its clocks drift from the sun.

Neighbouring offsets: UTC−11 (Pago Pago and Alofi) and UTC−9:30 (Marquesas).
