The clock says the same thing everywhere in Mountain Daylight Time, but the sun does not. Over Albuquerque it is highest at 12:58 pm today — 58 minutes after clock noon.

At 106.6°W, Albuquerque sits well toward the western edge of its zone, which is why the sun stays up later here than the clock suggests. Daylight saving adds another hour on top until the clocks change.
