Hawaii-Aleutian Standard and Daylight Time
Hawaii Time observes standard time at ten hours behind UTC (UTC-10), based on the mean solar time of the 150th meridian west of Greenwich.
The zone's full name, Hawaii-Aleutian Time, combines the two places where it's observed: Hawaii itself, and the part of Alaska's Aleutian Islands west of 169°30′ W longitude. The Aleutian portion observes daylight saving time, shifting to Hawaii-Aleutian Daylight Time (HADT, UTC-9) — but Hawaii keeps Hawaii-Aleutian Standard Time (HAST) year-round, never shifting at all.
Daylight Saving Time in the USA and Canada
Daylight saving time begins at 2:00 a.m. on the second Sunday of March and ends at 2:00 a.m. on the first Sunday of November, in every USA and Canada time zone that observes it.

GMT and UTC
Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) originally referred to mean solar time at the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, London. Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) is the modern, atomic-clock-based standard that has replaced it for precise timekeeping — but the two are close enough that they're used interchangeably in everyday contexts, including throughout this page.
