Phoenix Time

Phoenix, Arizona's time zone is Mountain Standard Time (MST). In the Greater Phoenix area we never change our clocks, since Arizona does not participate in Daylight Saving Time. Arizona is in the Mountain Time Zone and most of the state (with exceptions noted below) remains in Mountain Standard Time (MST) all year. Thus, during daylight saving time, from March to November, most of Arizona has the same time as the Pacific Time Zone.

Unlike most of the United States, Arizona does not observe daylight saving time (DST), with the exception of the Navajo Nation, which does observe DST. The Hopi Reservation, which is not part of the Navajo Nation but is geographically surrounded by it, does not observe DST.

Example:- When daylight saving is not active, the time in Phoenix and Denver is the same (Mountain Standard Time), and both are one hour ahead of San Diego (Pacific Standard Time).

When daylight saving is active, the time in Phoenix (Mountain Standard Time) and San Diego (Pacific Daylight Time) is the same, and both are one hour behind Denver (Mountain Daylight Time).
