About this clock
Prescott does not change its clocks
Prescott 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.
Prescott sits at 34.59°N, 112.45°W. For sunrise and sunset there — which do depend on exactly where it is, unlike the clock — see sunrise and sunset in Prescott.
Clock time against sun time
The clock says the same thing everywhere in Mountain Standard Time, but the sun does not. Over Prescott it is highest at 12:14 pm today — 14 minutes after clock noon.
At 112.4°W, Prescott sits 30 minutes of solar time west of Mountain Standard Time’s 105° meridian, so on standard time the sun peaks 30 minutes after noon.
