What HST and EST mean here

HST (Hawaii Standard Time) is UTC−10 all year. Hawaii doesn't use daylight saving time, so its gap to the mainland grows by an hour each summer when the mainland moves its clocks forward.

EST (Eastern Standard Time, UTC−5) is the winter time in New York, Washington, Atlanta, Miami and Toronto. From March 8 to November 1, 2026 those places use EDT (Eastern Daylight Time, UTC−4) instead. Most people who write "EST" mean "Eastern Time, whatever the clocks say today", so this converter follows the clocks in New York and switches between EST and EDT on the right days.
