Needs rewrite. It confuses time ZONE with time OFFSET.

Hawaii-Aleutian Standard Time is observed in Hawaii all year round. [1]

Parts of Alaska, however, observe daylight saving time along with the rest of America. --Uncle Ed 17:41, 20 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

What a mishmash

[edit]

Cut from article:

Most of Alaska observes daylight saving time along with the rest of the United States (HDT).
The region includes the U.S. state of Hawaii and Alaska's Aleutian Islands west of 169° 30′ west. It is the time zone located just west of the Alaska Standard Time Zone.
When Alaska observes daylight saving time, the timezone is known as "Hawaii-Aleutian Daylight Time", or "HADT" for short. During this period the region is nine hours behind UTC (UTC-9).
Hawaii, on the other hand, does not observe daylight saving time. The timezone is known as Hawaii Standard Time (or Hawaiian Standard Time) in Hawaii and is always UTC-10 throughout the year.

The only part readily salvageable here is the data on the Aleutians. --Uncle Ed 17:56, 20 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed it myself, and basically rewrote the top section. I've also removed the stub labels. Jon 19:13, 26 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Map graphic needs update as it does not show the entire zone.

The chart says "Observance of DST" DST is observed throughout this time zone between the 2nd Sunday in March and the 1st Sunday in November. This should be rewritten because not all parts of this time zone observe DST. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.197.193.145 (talk) 21:34, 31 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
