Last Places on Earth to See Each Day
Honolulu is among the last places on Earth to enter each new day, running at UTC-10:00.
Why Are These Cities Last to Reach Each New Day?
While some places race ahead, others bring up the rear. The last inhabited spots to reach each new day sit in the most negative time zones, down toward UTC-11, just east of the International Date Line. When they are still finishing one day, the earliest zones are already most of the way through the next.
These late-day places are scattered across the eastern Pacific and the Americas. On this list Honolulu is among the last, running at UTC-10:00.
