About this clock
Tempe does not change its clocks
Tempe 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.
Tempe sits at 33.39°N, 111.93°W. For sunrise and sunset there — which do depend on exactly where it is, unlike the clock — see sunrise and sunset in Tempe.
Clock time against sun time
The clock says the same thing everywhere in Mountain Standard Time, but the sun does not. Over Tempe it is highest at 12:12 pm today — 12 minutes after clock noon.
At 111.9°W, Tempe sits 28 minutes of solar time west of Mountain Standard Time’s 105° meridian, so on standard time the sun peaks 28 minutes after noon.
