What time is it in Hilo, Hawaii?

Hilo stays on Hawaii-Aleutian Standard Time all year and does not move its clocks. Its offset from UTC never changes, so its relationship to the rest of the country shifts twice a year instead.

Hilo sits at 19.69°N, 155.08°W. For sunrise and sunset there — which do depend on exactly where it is, unlike the clock — see sunrise and sunset in Hilo.

The clock says the same thing everywhere in Hawaii-Aleutian Standard Time, but the sun does not. Over Hilo it is highest at 12:11 pm today — 11 minutes after clock noon.

At 155.1°W, Hilo sits close to the meridian its zone is named for, so clock time and sun time nearly agree.

Today runs 12 hours 4 minutes in Hilo, and the day is getting shorter by 1 minute a day. Across the year it swings 2 hours 23 minutes, from 13 hours 19 minutes at the June solstice down to 10 hours 56 minutes in December.

At 19.7°N that puts Hilo among the least seasonal places in the country, where the year barely opens and closes at all.
