Time difference between Honolulu and Los Angeles

Los Angeles is 3 hours ahead of Honolulu

Honolulu, the United States is UTC−10 · Los Angeles, the United States is UTC−8 — on standard time

The gap is not the same all year

Every converter gives one number for this pair. That number is right for most of the year and wrong for part of it, because Honolulu does not change its clocks and Los Angeles goes forward on the second Sunday in March and back on the first Sunday in November.

Honolulu stays put all year while Los Angeles moves, so the gap changes twice a year from Los Angeles's side alone. A recurring meeting set in Honolulu's calendar will drift by an hour without anyone touching it.
