Unless it's MST and they live in Arizona

Google is the worst for this. I'll type something along the lines of "12:30 PM eastern to MST". I specify MST. I specify standard time, i.e not daylight savings. I live in Arizona, Google knows I live in Arizona, from my IP address and from my account that I'm logged into. Half of the year, without fail, it converts to MDT.

  What happens if you try "my time" or "local time"?

    I guess we’ll find out in March, that’s a good question.

      Another option is to give it a large city to orient with. If you said "in Phoenix" it would probably figure it out via IANA timezones or something similar

  Outlook also sends your time zone as MST if you live in AZ (which is technically correct), but it’s super annoying as half the year you have to remind people that those times are really Pacific Time

Unless they live within the Navajo Nation inside of Arizona, then it follows daylight savings time. Unless they live within the Hopi Nation which is an enclave within the Navajo Nation which does not follow daylight savings time. Going north from Winslow, AZ to the Glenn Canyon Dam you will Be in non-DST (Winslow, Arizona) Be in DST (Navajo) Be in non-DST (Hopi) Be in DST (Navajo) Be in non-DST (Hopi) Be in DST (Tuba City, Navajo) Be in non-DST (Page, AZ) Btw, the fun job for scheduling would be at Lake Powell and the Glenn Canyon Dam where you could have people who live in Utah, Arizona, Navajo nation, and Hopi Nation. https://www.timeanddate.com/time/us/arizona-no-dst.html https://www.timeanddate.com/time/us/arizona-no-dst.html

  Yep, local businesses near Page have to explain this to pretty much every tourist who books anything with a specific time in the general area. Huge waste of time.
