Time Zone

Scottsdale and Phoenix, AZ are both located in the Mountain Standard Time Zone (MST), which is seven hours behind Coordinated Universal Time (UTC-7). MST is observed throughout the year, with no daylight saving time changes. This means that during daylight saving time periods, Arizona is effectively on Pacific Daylight Time (PDT), as the rest of the country moves their clocks forward one hour. It's important to keep this in mind when scheduling meetings or travel plans to and from Scottsdale and Phoenix, so that you don't accidentally show up an hour early or late.
