About MDT to HST Conversion

Converting time between MST and HST requires understanding their time zone offsets and any daylight saving time adjustments. MST (MDT) operates at UTC-7, while HST (HST) is set to UTC-10. This means HST is 3 hours behind MST. For example, when it's 7:12 PM MDT on February 3, 2026, it's 4:12 PM HST in HST. America/Denver observes daylight saving time, switching between MST (UTC-7) and MDT (UTC-6), while Pacific/Honolulu does not observe daylight saving time. Use this converter to quickly find the equivalent time in HST for any time in MST, whether you're scheduling meetings, planning travel, or coordinating with teams across different time zones.
