PST to HST converter
Hawaii time is 3 hours behind Pacific time in summer and 2 hours behind it in winter.
Right now it's in Los Angeles (PT) and in Honolulu (HST).
How to convert
To convert PT to HST, subtract 3 hours while the US is on daylight saving time (March to early November) and subtract 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.
