The thing about Arizona
Daylight saving in Arizona
Clocks here do not change — this zone stays on the same offset all year.
Because the clocks here never move, the gap to the rest of the country changes twice a year without Arizona doing anything at all. Right now it is 2:45 pm (MST, UTC-7).
Arizona is split across 2 time zones
