Daylight saving time
Phoenix does not observe daylight saving time, so the clock stays on Mountain Standard Time (UTC−7) all year. That makes the gap to places that do switch, like New York or London, change by an hour twice a year.
Good to know
Arizona has stayed on Mountain Standard Time all year since 1968, so Phoenix matches Los Angeles in summer and Denver in winter. The Navajo Nation in the state's northeast is the exception and does change its clocks.
