North American time zones:

AKST – Alaska Standard Time

Time zone offset: UTC - 9 hours

AKST is 9 hours behind of Coordinated Universal Time (UTC)

Note that during summer daylight saving time/summer time is observed, and AKDT is used instead.

Time zone abbreviations: AKST, HNY

Full name is Alaska Standard Time
HNY – Heure Normale du Yukon (French)

Email time zone indicator: -0900

An email sent from someone in the AKST time zone will have the time zone listed as "-0900" in the headers of the email. (However, "-0900" does not have to be in AKST, as other time zones could have the same UTC offset).

For actual dates DST might be observed, look at the examples below
