When Does Daylight Saving Time End in Arizona? Find Out If Clocks Change This Weekend

Discussion surrounding daylight saving time (DST) continues, particularly in Arizona, where the practice is not observed. A recent unscientific poll conducted by Elon Musk on social media highlighted varying opinions on this annual time adjustment.

Daylight Saving Time in Arizona

Daylight saving time officially ends at 2 a.m. on Sunday, November 2, 2025. However, residents of Arizona will not adjust their clocks, as the state does not participate in this practice.

Historical Context

Arizona abandoned daylight saving time in 1968, largely due to the extreme heat experienced during the summer months. Prior to that, the state observed DST starting in 1918.

• Only two states do not observe daylight saving time: Arizona and Hawaii.
• The Navajo Nation, which spans parts of Arizona, Utah, and New Mexico, follows daylight saving time.

Time Changes and Future Dates

For those interested in the broader implications of DST:

• Clocks will move forward one hour at 2 a.m. on the second Sunday in March 2025.
• Clocks will revert back one hour at 2 a.m. on the first Sunday in November 2025.
• The next start of daylight saving time will occur at 2 a.m. on March 8, 2026.

As the days grow shorter and temperatures drop in Arizona, residents can enjoy the seasonal changes without the hassle of adjusting clocks. For many, this year marks another fall without the DST changes that affect most of the United States.
