Why is the time in Boise different?
The United States is so wide that the Sun is overhead in different places at different times. When the Sun is high in New York, it is still morning in California. So the country is split into time zones, and Boise is in Mountain Time.
- Boise is 2 hours behind New York all year.
- Boise is 1 hour ahead of Los Angeles all year.
- Southern and central Idaho (Boise) use Mountain Time. The northern Panhandle (Coeur d’Alene) uses Pacific Time.
- Yes. Boise uses daylight saving time. The clocks go forward 1 hour on the second Sunday in March and back 1 hour on the first Sunday in November. That moves Boise between MST (UTC-7) in winter and MDT (UTC-6) in summer.
