Both Hawaiian Islands and Alaska will have 30 December, 2023.<\/section>\n
The International Date Line (IDL) is located in the Pacific Ocean. New Zealand is west of the IDL, while Hawaii and Alaska are east of the IDL. When travelling eastward across the IDL, one goes back a calendar day. Since New Zealand is ahead in time\/date, locations to its east across the IDL will be on the previous day. Considering time zones, New Zealand is significantly ahead (e.g., UTC+12\/13), while Hawaii (UTC-10) and parts of Alaska (UTC-9\/8) are significantly behind UTC. The large difference in time zones confirms that they would be on the previous day.<\/section>\n
New Zealand time zones are roughly 22-23 hours ahead of Hawaii and Alaska time zones depending on the exact locations and daylight saving times. This means that when it is, for instance, noon on Dec 31st in New Zealand, it is early afternoon or evening on Dec 30th in Hawaii and Alaska.<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
