Time difference between Honolulu and Paris
Paris is 12 hours ahead of Honolulu
Honolulu, the United States is UTC−10 · Paris, France is UTC+1 — 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 Paris goes forward on the last Sunday in March and back on the last Sunday in October.
| Honolulu / Paris clocks | Difference | How long |
|---|---|---|
| standard / summer | 12 hours ahead | about 30 weeks |
| standard / standard | 11 hours ahead | about 22 weeks |
Honolulu stays put all year while Paris moves, so the gap changes twice a year from Paris's side alone. A recurring meeting set in Honolulu's calendar will drift by an hour without anyone touching it.
When they can both be at their desks
Nine-to-five in Honolulu and nine-to-five in Paris do not overlap at all. With 12 hours between them, one side is always outside working hours, and the practical question is which side takes the early start or the late finish rather than when to meet.
