Daylight Saving Time and Your Trip to Hawaii

Published by Rob at 9:54 am under Culture and Events

Daylight Saving Time (DST) starts Sunday but not here in Hawaii.

According to Hawaii Answers, we tried it in 1933 for three short weeks. No one knows why.

With our tropical location, DST is not necessary. We’re closer to the equator than the mainland so there’s less of a difference in the amount of daylight between seasons.

When you’re calling anyone in Hawaii during DST, remember that we’re three hours earlier than west coast.

For some fun facts on Daylight Saving Time, read Huffington Post.

Oh, and if you like my Aloha shirt watch, I found it at our popular ABC Stores in Hawaii. It’s a great way to keep Hawaii close to you.
