About this clock
Tucson does not change its clocks
Tucson 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.
Tucson sits at 32.15°N, 110.87°W. For sunrise and sunset there — which do depend on exactly where it is, unlike the clock — see sunrise and sunset in Tucson.
Clock time against sun time
The clock says the same thing everywhere in Mountain Standard Time, but the sun does not. Over Tucson it is highest at 12:07 pm today — 7 minutes after clock noon.
At 110.9°W, Tucson sits 23 minutes of solar time west of Mountain Standard Time’s 105° meridian, so on standard time the sun peaks 23 minutes after noon.
