Current Time in Boise

Daylight saving time in Boise

This zone shifts its clocks twice a year, so its offset from UTC depends on the date. In 2026 the transitions fall at:

Around the forward transition an hour of local time does not exist, and around the backward transition an hour occurs twice. Any job scheduled at a wall-clock time inside those windows will be skipped or run twice — the reason recurring work should be scheduled in UTC. See daylight saving bugs.

Converting timestamps for this zone in code

Always pass the IANA identifier America/Boise rather than a numeric offset. The identifier carries the zone's entire history of offset and daylight saving changes, so a timestamp from any year converts correctly; a hard-coded offset is only right until the next rule change.

# Python
from datetime import datetime
from zoneinfo import ZoneInfo
datetime.fromtimestamp(1710050400, ZoneInfo("America/Boise"))

// JavaScript
new Intl.DateTimeFormat('en-GB', { timeZone: 'America/Boise',
  dateStyle: 'full', timeStyle: 'long' }).format(new Date(1710050400 * 1000));

<?php // PHP
(new DateTimeImmutable("@1710050400"))->setTimezone(new DateTimeZone("America/Boise"));

How this zone's rules have changed since 1970

Since the start of Unix time in 1970, Boise has kept a standard offset of UTC-07:00 and has observed daylight saving throughout. A zone this stable is forgiving to work with: a timestamp from any year in that span converts with the same rule that applies today.

When it is 12:00 in Boise

Midday here against the clocks most schedules are written around, for Thursday, 22 October 2026 at 12:00:00 MDT:

Zones currently on UTC-06:00

19 other IANA zones are on UTC-06:00 at this moment. They agree on the clock today but not necessarily tomorrow — zones that observe daylight saving on different dates diverge and rejoin through the year, which is why an offset alone can never stand in for a zone.
