Time in North America
North America runs from UTC-10 in Hawaii to UTC-3:30 in Newfoundland and UTC-4 across the Caribbean. The United States and Canada use the familiar Pacific, Mountain, Central and Eastern time zones, plus Alaska and Atlantic time, so it can be three hours later in New York than in Los Angeles.
Most of the US and Canada move their clocks forward on the second Sunday in March and back on the first Sunday in November – a few weeks apart from Europe, which briefly changes the usual time differences. Arizona (outside the Navajo Nation), Hawaii, Saskatchewan and most of Mexico do not change their clocks.
