PST and HNA examples

These examples always use PST (UTC-8) and HNA (UTC-4). They stay the same when you change the date or time above. The selected conversion may differ when daylight saving time applies.

PST is 4 hours behind HNA.

PST uses UTC-8 during standard time. For Pacific Time that follows daylight saving time, use PT to HNA-CARIBBEAN. For daylight-time examples, use PDT to HNA-CARIBBEAN.

How the time difference changes

For most of the year, PDT is 3 hours behind HNA Caribbean. At other times of the year, PST is 4 hours behind HNA Caribbean.

For most of the year, working hours of 9:00 am to 5:00 pm in PDT correspond to 12:00 pm to 8:00 pm in HNA Caribbean. At other times of the year, working hours of 9:00 am to 5:00 pm in PST correspond to 1:00 pm to 9:00 pm in HNA Caribbean.

Compare PST time with HNA time, including current local time, UTC offsets, time difference, daylight saving changes, working hours, and shareable meeting times.
