About the time in Hawke's Bay

Around 297 people live in Hawke's Bay, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
The zone identifier America/St_Johns is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but America/St_Johns keeps pointing at St Johns time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
