What time is it in Kailua, Hawaii?

Kailua 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.

Kailua sits at 19.65°N, 156.00°W. For sunrise and sunset there — which do depend on exactly where it is, unlike the clock — see sunrise and sunset in Kailua.

The clock says the same thing everywhere in Hawaii-Aleutian Standard Time, but the sun does not. Over Kailua it is highest at 12:15 pm today — 15 minutes after clock noon.

At 156.0°W, Kailua 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 Kailua, and the day is getting shorter by 1 minute a day. Across the year it swings 2 hours 22 minutes, from 13 hours 19 minutes at the June solstice down to 10 hours 57 minutes in December.

At 19.6°N that puts Kailua among the least seasonal places in the country, where the year barely opens and closes at all.
