what state doesn't do daylight savings

No U.S. state skips daylight saving time entirely, but two states do not observe it in the usual “spring forward, fall back” way:

• Hawaii does not observe daylight saving time at all and stays on standard time year-round.

• Most of Arizona also stays on standard time all year and does not change clocks in March or November.

There is one notable wrinkle in Arizona:

• The Navajo Nation (which spans parts of Arizona, New Mexico, and Utah) does follow daylight saving time, so clocks there do change even though the rest of Arizona does not.

Outside the 50 states, several U.S. territories also don’t do daylight saving time and stay on standard time all year:

• American Samoa

• Guam

• Northern Mariana Islands

• Puerto Rico

• U.S. Virgin Islands

So if you’re just thinking about “what state doesn’t do daylight savings,” the answer people usually mean is: Hawaii and Arizona.
