Daylight Savings Time is observed throughout most of the United States of America. The state of Hawaii is one of the exceptions. Hawaii is situated in a tropical latitude and due to how far south it is situated, does not experience much variation in it’s sunrise and sunset times over the course of a year. In July, the sun sets around 7 pm, and in January the sun sets around 6 pm. Since there would be very little to gain by “springing forward”, Hawaii has chosen not to participate in Daylight Savings Time.
