When the difference changes

Hawaii Standard Time and Alaska 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:

  1. Now – March 14, 2027Alaska Time is 1 hour ahead
  2. March 14, 2027 – November 7, 2027Alaska Time is 2 hours ahead
  3. November 7, 2027 – onwardsAlaska Time is 1 hour ahead

Periods shorter than a day are not listed. Each zone changes at its own local time, so on a date when both move there are a few hours when the gap is briefly something else.

Daylight saving

Hawaii Standard Time

No clock changes

Hawaii Standard Time stays on HST all year, so its offset from UTC never moves.

Alaska Time

Sunday, March 14, 2027

Clocks go forward one hour — 2:00 am becomes 3:00 am local time, and the zone is on AKDT after that.

Scheduling between the two

Working hours overlap from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm HST, which is 10:00 am to 6:00 pm AKST. 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
