What changes

Arizona stays on MST all year, so there is no jump: sunrise simply keeps drifting later by up to a minute a day as winter approaches, reaching 7:12 AM four weeks later, on November 29. What does change on November 1 is the time difference with the rest of the country: Phoenix goes from 3 hours behind New York to 2 hours behind New York, and from the same time as Los Angeles to 1 hour ahead of Los Angeles. If you have calls or TV schedules set in Eastern or Pacific time, they move by an hour for you.

How these times are calculated

Times are for Phoenix (33.45° N, 112.07° W), calculated with the NOAA solar-position algorithm for a flat horizon, in local clock time (America/Phoenix), including daylight saving time where it applies. They are the same numbers as on the Phoenix sunset and sunrise pages and are usually within a minute of published tables. Hills and buildings can hide the sun a few minutes early.
