Moose are considered an invasive species in Hawaii. The natives are very hostile to that.


You aren't a moose. If you run into any Hawaiians wearing black trunks as you prepare for a refreshing swim on the North Shore, tell them you're proud to be a haole, and I'm sure they will assist you in overcoming your heated state. :thup:

Haole are considered more an invasive species than moose in Hawaii.
They tend to be confined to resort communities.
 
Hawaii does not observe Daylight Saving Time (DST). The state opted out of DST under the Uniform Time Act of 1966 and has remained on Hawaii Standard Time (HST), UTC-10:00, year-round. This decision is largely due to Hawaii's proximity to the equator, where the length of daylight varies little throughout the year, making the time shift less beneficial. So, no clock adjustments for Hawaii—consistent time all the way!

Hawaii is not near the equator. The southern tip of the Big Island extends just slightly below the northern tropic line.

You are right that Hawaii does not observe DST, since it's sort of senseless in Hawaii anyway. The Sun is not up that much longer in summer in Hawaii, and it passes directly overhead at the summer solstice. That's what the tropic line denotes.
