Hawaii is relatively close to the equator with minor changes to daylight because of season. Daylight savings would complicate international business and tourists, with no added benefit.
Arizona has determined the twice a year time changes complicate business operations without energy savings or any other benefit. Energy loss may actually occur because of increased use of residential air conditioning.
Overall, daylight savings are not uniformly observed internationally. Most countries do not observe daylight saving time as the US does. Countries that observe daylight saving time do not all change their clocks on the same days or time. Operating on standard time and ignoring daylight saving time simplifies transactions in the global economy.
Arizona, Indiana, Hawaii, parts of Puerto Rico, and American Samoa
Arizona, Indiana, and Hawaii are the 3 states that dont participate in daylight savings......extra credit goes to those who can explain why... because they want longer days and shorter night and it depends on the time zone they are in.
Arizona and Hawaii do not participate in DST
No. Arizona and Hawaii, do not use it.
States that are farther south really don't need daylight savings time. There is not that much variation between the length of the day and night in Hawaii and Arizona.
Daylight Saving Time (United States) began Sunday, March 11, 2012, 2:00am, and ends Sunday, November 4, 2012, 2:00am.Except Arizona and Hawaii. Move your clocks ahead 1 hour in spring and back 1 hour in fall ("Spring forward, fall back") .
No Hawaii does not use Daylight Savings Time.
As of 2006, with the addition of Indiana, there are now 48 U.S. states that observe daylight saving time (all but Hawaii and Arizona, although the Navaho Nation, part of which is in Arizona, does do daylight saving time).
The states that are not affected by daylight saving is Hawaii and parts of Arizona. The time changes for daylight saving twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall.
Arizona (Except Navajo Nation) & Hawaii.
Almost all of the United States of America observes Daylight Savings time. Hawaii, Arizona (except the Navajo Nation), and the territories of Puerto Rico, the American Samoa, the Northern Mariana Islands, the US Virgin Islands, and Guam do not participate in daylight savings.
