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, 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, Indiana, Hawaii, parts of Puerto Rico, and American Samoa
Arizona and Hawaii do not participate in DST
Arizona and Hawaii are the only two states in the United States that do not participate in Daylight Saving Time.
No. Arizona and Hawaii, do not use it.
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).
Hawaii and most of Arizona do not observe daylight savings time. Additionally, the territories of American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands also do not follow daylight savings time.
No Hawaii does not use Daylight Savings Time.
Arizona (Except Navajo Nation) & Hawaii.
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") .
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.
ArizonaWhen Congress passed the Uniform Time Act in 1966, Arizona tried observing daylight savings for a year and decided to not observe it after much negative reaction. They have never observed daylight savings since. During daylight saving time (spring through fall), Arizona is on Pacific time. All other months of the year they observe Mountain time. The only exception in Arizona is the Navajo Nation, in northeastern Arizona, which does observe Daylight Saving Time.HawaiiHawaii is closer to the equator and experiences much less variance in daylight than the rest of the country and therefore opts out of observing Daylight Saving Time.
