Frequently Asked Questions
Is it still yesterday in Hawaii?
From Asia, Australia and Europe — usually, yes. Hawaii is 19 hours behind Tokyo and 11 behind London, so their mornings overlap with Hawaii's previous evening. From the US mainland the day usually matches, except late at night: Hawaii is 6 hours behind New York and 3 behind California.
What time zone is Hawaii in?
Hawaii Standard Time (HST), UTC−10, also called the Hawaii–Aleutian zone. All the islands share one clock.
Does Hawaii have daylight saving time?
No. Hawaii and most of Arizona are the only US states that never change their clocks. That's why the gap with the mainland grows an hour every summer: 3 hours behind Pacific Daylight Time, but only 2 behind Pacific Standard Time.
What are the days of the week in Hawaiian?
Monday through Saturday count the nights: Pōʻakahi (“first day”), Pōʻalua, Pōʻakolu, Pōʻahā, Pōʻalima and Pōʻaono. Sunday is Lāpule — “prayer day” — a name introduced by 19th-century missionaries.
