In Arizona the time comes back – but only in a geographical “donut”

For half a year, crossing this US state is a true time trip-thanks to a tribe that is not commanded by government guidelines.

There are only two states in the US that have not adhered to daylight saving time: Hawaii and Arizona.

Explains that, because it is a state where It is very hot, Extending the “day” for another hour would not be advantageous for this state in the interior of the country, as it would mean that the population would be another hour with connected air conditioning equipment.

O Arizona has therefore opted for Do not adhere to summer time in 1967.

But Arizona has a particularity: it is the only state with two different times: there is a small slice of the territory that adopts daylight saving time, and is therefore an hour late at this time.

We talk about the Navajo nation, which surrounds the Reserva Hopiand this is governed by the rest of the state. The result is a fun schedule that looks like a donut.

A Navajo nation It is a Tribe India located between Arizona, Utah and New Mexico. They adopted daylight saving time. It has more than 298,000 members, and must have adopted this time due to the raising number of inhabitants who already live in Arizona’s border states.

The Hopi Nature Reserve belongs to the state of Arizona completely, so it has not seen a need to distance itself from state guidelines. It therefore maintains the fixed time all year. And gives rise to a fun temporal donut.
