What time is it in Roswell, New Mexico?

Roswell is currently on daylight saving time. The next change is Sunday, November 1, 2026, when 2:00 am becomes 1:00 am local time.

Roswell sits at 33.37°N, 104.53°W. For sunrise and sunset there — which do depend on exactly where it is, unlike the clock — see sunrise and sunset in Roswell.

The clock says the same thing everywhere in Mountain Daylight Time, but the sun does not. Over Roswell it is highest at 12:49 pm today — 49 minutes after clock noon.

At 104.5°W, Roswell 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.

Today runs 12 hours 2 minutes in Roswell, and the day is getting shorter by 2 minutes a day. Across the year it swings 4 hours 26 minutes, from 14 hours 22 minutes at the June solstice down to 9 hours 56 minutes in December.

At 33.4°N that puts Roswell between Kailua at 2 hours 22 minutes and Fairbanks at 18 hours 9 minutes.
