What is AKST in HST?
Hawaii Standard Time is 2 hours behind
Alaska Time is on UTC−8:00 and Hawaii Standard Time is on UTC−10:00 right now. Alaska Time is on daylight saving, so its clocks read AKDT. The gap changes during the year — see below.

When the difference changes
Alaska Time and Hawaii Standard Time do not change their clocks on the same dates, so the gap between them is not the same all year. Most converters show only today’s figure. These are the periods ahead:
- Now – November 1, 2026Hawaii Standard Time is 2 hours behind
- November 1, 2026 – March 14, 2027Hawaii Standard Time is 1 hour behind
- March 14, 2027 – onwardsHawaii Standard Time is 2 hours behind
Periods shorter than a day are not listed: both zones change at 2am in their own local time, so there are a few hours on each transition date when the gap is briefly something else.
Daylight saving
Alaska Time
Clocks go back one hour at 2am local time, becoming AKST.
Hawaii Standard Time
Hawaii Standard Time stays on HST all year, so its offset from UTC never moves.

Scheduling between the two
Working hours overlap from 11:00 am to 6:00 pm AKDT, which is 9:00 am to 4:00 pm HST. Anything inside that window falls in the normal working day at both ends.
Hawaii Standard Time (HST) is used in all of Hawaii, which does not observe daylight saving
