Phoenix, the Valley of the Sun, operates on Mountain Standard Time (MST/UTC-7) year-round. Unlike most of the US, Arizona does NOT observe Daylight Saving Time, making Phoenix one of the few US cities with a consistent UTC offset all year.
Arizona does NOT observe Daylight Saving Time (except Navajo Nation). Phoenix stays on MST (UTC-7) year-round. In summer, Phoenix is same time as California; in winter, same as Colorado.
Phoenix is always UTC-7. When noon in Phoenix: NYC 2 PM (winter) or 3 PM (summer), LA 11 AM (winter) or noon (summer).
Many businesses open early (7-8 AM) to beat the heat in summer. Pools are essential. Outdoor activities done by 10 AM in summer.
Arizona (except Navajo Nation) ignores DST. In summer, Phoenix is same time as LA; in winter, same as Denver. This can cause confusion!
