How Time Zone Conversion Works
Time zone conversion works by comparing the UTC offset of one location to another. Every city or region is measured relative to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), which acts as the global reference point for civil time.
AKST is 1 hour ahead of HST (standard time).
Daylight Saving Time: AKST observes DST; HST does not. The offset between them shifts by 1 hour twice a year — in spring and autumn — when AKST changes its clocks.

Hyder, Alaska (population ~50, southeastern panhandle) de facto follows Pacific Time to align with neighboring Stewart, British Columbia — it is technically in AKST territory but observes PST/PDT in practice. This is an extreme edge case and does not affect zone coverage.
