HST to PST converter
Pacific time is 3 hours ahead of Hawaii time in summer and 2 hours ahead of it in winter.
Right now it's in Honolulu (HST) and in Los Angeles (PT).
How to convert
To convert HST to PT, add 3 hours while the US is on daylight saving time (March to early November) and add 2 hours the rest of the year.
Hawaii doesn't use daylight saving time, so the gap to the mainland changes when the mainland changes its clocks.
