UTC to HST converter

HST is 10 hours behind UTC right now. Live clocks on both sides, a direct time input, the full 24-hour table with a permalink per hour, and the real daylight-saving state — computed from the IANA tz database on every request, never from a stored offset.

Daylight saving right now

Hawaii Standard Time

Pacific/Honolulu is currently on HST (UTC-10:00).

no clock change scheduled — this zone is fixed at UTC-10:00

Hawaii Standard Time is UTC-10 all year — Hawaii opted out of daylight saving in 1967, so the offset never moves.

Coordinated Universal Time

UTC is on UTC (UTC+00:00).

no clock change scheduled — fixed at UTC+00:00

UTC is the reference clock every other offset is quoted against. It has no daylight saving and never shifts.

Best time to call green = 09:00–18:00 on both sides

No overlap inside a 09:00–18:00 day on both sides. Someone has to take an early or late slot — the table below shows exactly which hours are least bad.

Every hour as its own page

UTC to HST — questions

What time is it in HST when it is UTC now?
HST is currently 13:28 on Wednesday, 12 August 2026 (HST, UTC-10:00), while UTC is 23:28 (UTC+00:00). That is 10 hours behind the source clock right now.
How many hours behind is HST of UTC?
10 hours at this moment. The gap is not constant across the year: Coordinated Universal Time and Hawaii Standard Time change clocks on different dates (or one of them not at all), so a difference you hard-code in summer can be an hour wrong in winter. The table on this page is computed from the current tzdata rules, not from a fixed offset.
Is HST on daylight saving time right now?
No. Pacific/Honolulu is on HST (UTC-10:00) at the moment.
Does HST observe daylight saving time?
No. Pacific/Honolulu stays on UTC-10:00 all year, so the difference from UTC only moves when UTC itself changes.
Is there any working-hours overlap between UTC and HST?
Not inside a normal 09:00-18:00 day on both sides — the 10-hour gap is too wide. One party has to take an early or late slot; the hour table above shows exactly which hours land where so you can pick the least painful one.
Which IANA timezone name should I use for HST in code?
Use Pacific/Honolulu. Abbreviations like HST are ambiguous and not resolvable by most libraries — Python's ZoneInfo, Java's ZoneId, Go's time.LoadLocation and JavaScript's Intl all expect the IANA name. Hard-coding UTC-10:00 instead will be wrong the moment the rules change.
