Convert PKT to HST

HST is 15 hours behind PKT. PKT is UTC+5 and HST is UTC−10.

Best time to schedule a meeting

Standard 9–5 working hours do not overlap at all between PKT and HST. Someone has to take an early or late call — or use asynchronous communication instead.

About PKT

Pakistan Standard Time (PKT) is UTC+5. It is used in Pakistan, all year.

Pakistan Standard Time is UTC+5 and does not change through the year — daylight saving has been tried twice and abandoned twice. It sits half an hour behind India, which is the only pair of neighbouring countries in the region separated by a half-hour step rather than a whole one, and a common source of missed calls across that border.

About HST

Hawaii Standard Time (HST) is UTC−10. It is used in Hawaii, which does not observe daylight saving at all.

Hawaii–Aleutian Standard Time is UTC−10 and Hawaii does not observe daylight saving. That makes it the North American zone whose relationship to everywhere else changes twice a year without it doing anything: Hawaii is two hours behind Los Angeles in winter and three in summer. It is also far enough west that the working day barely overlaps with the US east coast at all.

Does this gap change with the seasons?

Neither PKT nor HST shifts with the seasons, so this 15-hour difference holds all year. That is unusual enough to be worth relying on: most cross-continental gaps move twice a year.

This is the reason scheduling systems store an IANA zone such as Region/City rather than an offset or an abbreviation: the zone knows its own rules and the offset does not.
