New York does observe Daylight Saving Time, contrary to what the prompt suggests. The only two U.S. states that do not observe Daylight Saving Time are Arizona (except the Navajo Nation) and Hawaii.
The very simple reasons:
Arizona opts out because its desert climate means that extra daylight in the evening only intensifies the heat and leads to more air conditioning use, making it both uncomfortable and less energy-efficient.
Hawaii doesn’t participate because it is close to the equator, so daylight amounts barely change year-round, making any time-shifting unnecessary.
New York, by law, does change its clocks for Daylight Saving—so the claim that it doesn’t is incorrect. If you’re looking for states that officially skip Daylight Saving Time, it’s just Arizona (apart from Navajo Nation) and Hawaii, for the simple reasons of climate and geography.
