Daylight saving time in Yuma
Yuma 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 Yuma
Sunset drifts through the year with Earth’s ~23.4° axial tilt — see the full daylight explainer.
In Yuma, the longest day carries about 14h 18m of daylight and the shortest just 10h 0m — a swing of roughly 4h 18m 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 Yuma’s exact coordinates, in local time.
