Why Phoenix's Sunrise & Sunset Matters

Phoenix sits at 33.45°N latitude in the Sonoran Desert, and its sun cycle is steadier than most US cities: day length swings from 9h 55m at the December solstice to 14h 22m in June — a difference of about 4.5 hours. Arizona is also one of only two US states that does not observe daylight saving time, so Phoenix sunrise and sunset times drift smoothly through the year with no sudden one-hour jumps in spring or autumn.

That stability, plus more than 300 sunny days a year, makes Phoenix sunsets famously reliable. Dry desert air and dust particles scatter the low sun into deep oranges and purples over the surrounding mountain ranges, and the summer monsoon season (July to September) adds towering clouds that catch fire at sundown. In winter, the mild late-afternoon light — sunset falls between about 5:25 PM and 7:42 PM across the year — is prime time for desert hikes and patio season.

FAQ — Phoenix Sunrise & Sunset

What time is sunset in Phoenix during summer?

In mid-summer the sun sets in Phoenix at around 7:42 PM MST, the latest sunset of the year, near the June solstice. Because Arizona does not use daylight saving time, Phoenix sunsets are earlier on the clock than in neighbouring states at similar longitudes in summer.

Does Phoenix observe daylight saving time?

No. Arizona (except the Navajo Nation in the northeast) stays on Mountain Standard Time all year. That means sunrise and sunset times change gradually day by day, without the one-hour shifts most US cities see in March and November.

Where is the best sunset spot in Phoenix?

Popular spots include the summit trails of Camelback Mountain and Piestewa Peak, the Desert Botanical Garden, and South Mountain Park's Dobbins Lookout, which faces west over the city. The Papago Park buttes near the zoo are an easier option with classic red-rock foregrounds.

How short is the shortest day in Phoenix?

Around the December solstice Phoenix gets about 9h 55m of daylight, with sunrise near 7:29 AM and sunset near 5:25 PM. Even the shortest day is milder than in northern US cities, which is a big part of Phoenix's winter appeal.

Why are Phoenix sunsets so colourful?

The dry desert air holds fine dust that scatters sunlight into strong red and orange tones as the sun drops. During the July–September monsoon, high cloud decks catch the last light after the sun itself has set, often producing the most dramatic skies of the year.
