What time is it in Phoenix, Arizona?

Phoenix stays on Mountain Standard Time all year and does not move its clocks. Its offset from UTC never changes, so its relationship to the rest of the country shifts twice a year instead.

Phoenix sits at 33.57°N, 112.09°W. For sunrise and sunset there — which do depend on exactly where it is, unlike the clock — see sunrise and sunset in Phoenix.

The clock says the same thing everywhere in Mountain Standard Time, but the sun does not. Over Phoenix it is highest at 12:19 pm today — 19 minutes after clock noon.

At 112.1°W, Phoenix sits close to the meridian its zone is named for, so clock time and sun time nearly agree.

Today runs 12 hours 2 minutes in Phoenix, and the day is getting shorter by 2 minutes a day. Across the year it swings 4 hours 28 minutes, from 14 hours 23 minutes at the June solstice down to 9 hours 55 minutes in December.

At 33.6°N that puts Phoenix between Kailua at 2 hours 22 minutes and Fairbanks at 18 hours 9 minutes.
