About this clock
Post Falls does not keep Idaho's usual time
Most of Idaho is on Mountain Standard Time, but Post Falls keeps Pacific Standard Time — 1 hour behind the rest of the state. This is the kind of thing that catches people out, and it is why the zone is resolved from the city’s own coordinates rather than assumed from the state.
Post Falls is currently on standard time. The next change is Sunday, March 14, 2027, when 2:00 am becomes 3:00 am local time.
Post Falls sits at 47.73°N, 116.94°W. For sunrise and sunset there — which do depend on exactly where it is, unlike the clock — see sunrise and sunset in Post Falls.
Clock time against sun time
The clock says the same thing everywhere in Pacific Standard Time, but the sun does not. Over Post Falls it is highest at 11:32 am today — 28 minutes before clock noon.
At 116.9°W, Post Falls sits 12 minutes of solar time east of Pacific Standard Time’s 120° meridian, so on standard time the sun peaks 12 minutes before noon.
