Mountain Time Zone
The Mountain Time Zone (MT) covers all of Utah. Like other time zones around the US, Mountain Time comes in two forms: Mountain Standard Time (MST) and Mountain Daylight Time (MDT). MST is used from November to March of each year and is six hours behind Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). MDT, meanwhile, is used from March to November and is just five hours behind UTC. MDT, as the name suggests, is used during periods of daylight savings time.
As well as Utah, the Mountain Time Zone covers the entirety of Colorado, Montana, Wyoming, and New Mexico, as well as applying partially in ten additional states including Texas and Arizona. Mountain Time is also observed in various territories and provinces of Canada and several states of Mexico.
Daylight Savings in Utah
All of Utah uses daylight savings time. Almost all of the US states have utilized this system for many decades now, beginning in 1966 with the Uniform Time Act, which was introduced to help save energy and adjust to shifting sunrise and sunset times around the nation. In 2005, the dates of the daylight savings time were adjusted to make this period last even longer. Since then, the state of Utah has observed MDT from the second Sunday of March to the first Sunday of November each year.
