When the difference changes

Hawaii Standard Time and British 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 27, 2027British Time is 10 hours ahead
  2. March 27, 2027 – October 30, 2027British Time is 11 hours ahead
  3. October 30, 2027 – onwardsBritish Time is 10 hours 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.

British Time

Sunday, March 28, 2027

Clocks go forward one hour — 1:00 am becomes 2:00 am local time, and the zone is on BST after that.

Scheduling between the two

There is no overlap between a nine-to-six working day in Honolulu and one in London — the gap is too wide. A call has to sit early or late for one side. Early morning in Honolulu is the usual compromise, since that is late afternoon or evening in London.

A note on BST: it can also mean Bangladesh Standard Time (UTC+6). This page means British Summer Time.

Hawaii Standard Time (HST) is used in all of Hawaii, which does not observe daylight saving

British Time (GMT) is used in the whole United Kingdom. In winter the UK is on GMT; from late March to late October it is on BST, an hour ahead.
