Daylight saving time in Blue Ridge
Blue Ridge does not observe daylight saving time — its clocks stay on UTC−7 year round, so sunrise and sunset never jump an hour in spring or fall.
Why sunset time shifts in Blue Ridge
Sunset drifts through the year with Earth’s ~23.4° axial tilt — see the full daylight explainer.
In Blue Ridge, the longest day carries about 14h 29m of daylight and the shortest just 9h 50m — a swing of roughly 4h 39m between the June and December solstices. The farther a place sits from the equator, the wider that gap; the pace also isn’t steady, moving fastest near the equinoxes and barely at all near the solstices. Every figure here is computed from the sun’s position for Blue Ridge’s exact coordinates, in local time.
