I have a question about Hawaii.

Hawaii time zone question...?

  • what timezone is hawaii in? i was trying to find out the local time in hilo, hawaii. i live in new jersey it's 1:16 pm here and my sprint phone says that is is 8:16 am in hawaii. but when i googled the time in hawaii every "world-time calculator" says that it is 7:16 am. am i missing something? and also, what is the difference between the HAST(hawaii aleutian standard time) vs HST(hawaii standard time)? just curious, thanks in advance

  • Answer:

    At this moment, it is 12:25 PM in Austin, TX where I am, (1:25PM where you are in NJ), and 7:25AM in Hawai'i. Your Sprint phone is probably accounting for Daylight Saving Time, but Hawai'i doesn't observe Daylight Saving Time. Here is the official US Time in any US time zone according to the US National Institute of Standards Atomic Clock: http://nist.time.gov/ HAST and HST are the same thing. The HAST designation includes the name for the Aleutian Islands, which are in the furthest most west time zone of Alaska. You'll be able to see that in the map from the site I listed above.

All time is based on GMT...Grennwich Mean Time which is the correct time at the Prime Meridian. NJ is GMT-5...subtract 5 from GMT for standard time along the East coast...BUT...now is Daylight Savings Time. The correct time is GMT-4 Hawaii and the Alaskan Aleutian Islands are in the same time zone GMT-10...BUT...Hawaii has no Daylight Savings. It will always be GMT-10. Officially: Hawaii-Aleutian Standard Time (HST) since 1983 (Formerly: Alaska-Hawaii Standard Time) The majority of Alaska is in GMT-9...BUT... It is GMT-8 now because Alaska observes Daylight Savings Time. So....since it is now (then) 1:16 pm in NJ (GMT-4), subtract...10-4=4...6 hrs difference. It is 7:16 in Hawaii. http://wwp.greenwichmeantime.com/time-zone/usa/new-jersey/ http://wwp.greenwichmeantime.com/time-zone/gmt-10/
