About PST to HST Conversion

Converting time between PST and HST requires understanding their time zone offsets and any daylight saving time adjustments. PST (PST) operates at UTC-8, while HST (HST) is set to UTC-10. This means HST is 2 hours behind PST. For example, when it's 6:12 PM PST on February 3, 2026, it's 4:12 PM HST in HST. America/Los_Angeles observes daylight saving time, switching between PST (UTC-8) and PDT (UTC-7), while Pacific/Honolulu does not observe daylight saving time.
