Mountain Time Zone
Encyclopedia
The Mountain Time Zone of North America
keeps time by subtracting seven hours from Coordinated Universal Time
, also known as Greenwich Mean Time
, during the shortest days of autumn and winter (UTC−7), and by subtracting six hours during daylight saving time
in the spring, summer, and early autumn (UTC−6). The clock time in this zone is based on the mean solar time of the 105th meridian west
of the Greenwich Observatory.
In the United States
and Canada
, this time zone is generically called Mountain Time (MT). Specifically, it is Mountain Standard Time (MST) when observing standard time
(winter), and Mountain Daylight Time (MDT) when observing daylight saving time (spring, summer, fall). The term refers to the fact that the Rocky Mountains
, which range from northwestern Canada to the US state of New Mexico
, are located almost entirely in the time zone. In Mexico
this time is known as the Pacific Zone. In the USA, the exact specification for the location of time zone
s and the dividing line between zones is set forth in the Code of Federal Regulations
at 49 CFR 71.
The zone is one hour ahead of the Pacific Time Zone
and one hour behind the Central Time Zone
.
In some areas, starting in 2007, the local time changes from MST to MDT at 02:00 LST to 03:00 LDT on the second Sunday in March and returns at 02:00 LDT to 01:00 LST on the first Sunday in November.
Most of Arizona
does not observe daylight saving time, and during the spring, summer, and autumn months it is on the same time as Pacific Daylight Time, and because of this, it is said to be Pacific Daylight Time and NOT Mountain Standard. The Navajo Nation
, most of which lies within Arizona, does observe daylight saving time, although the Hopi Nation
, as well as some Arizona state offices lying within the Navajo Nation, do not.
The largest city in the Mountain Time Zone is Phoenix, Arizona
, and its metropolitan area
is the largest in the zone.
TV broadcasting in the Mountain Time Zone is typically tape-delayed one hour, so that shows match the broadcast times of the Central Time Zone
(i.e. prime time begins at 7:00 p.m. MT following the same order of programming as the other two time zones).
Also, the unincorporated community of Kenton, Oklahoma
, located in the extreme western end of the Oklahoma Panhandle
, unofficially observes Mountain Time (as the nearest sizeable towns are located in Colorado and New Mexico, both of which are in the Mountain Time Zone). However, the entire state of Oklahoma is officially in the Central Time Zone.
Arizona
does not observe daylight saving time
. However, the Navajo Nation
, the bulk of whose area is within Arizona, observes daylight saving time throughout its territory. The Hopi Reservation
, an enclave inside the Navajo Nation, does not observe daylight saving time.
