Common questions
- What time zone is Phoenix in?

- Does Phoenix observe daylight saving time?
- No. Phoenix keeps UTC-7 all year round, so its offset from UTC never changes.
- What is the difference between Phoenix and UTC?
- UTC-7 as of the last rebuild. That figure is constant, because the city does not change its clocks.
- When does the sun rise and set in Phoenix?
- On the day of the last rebuild, sunrise was 05:55 and sunset 19:08 local time, giving 13 hours 14 minutes of daylight. These are computed from the city’s latitude and longitude, not fetched from anywhere.
