Frequently asked questions
Common questions about New South Memphis's time zone, daylight saving rules, and scheduling across it. Can't find what you need? Email [email protected].
- What’s the local slang for daylight saving time?
- Locals jokingly call it ‘springing forward into confusion’—but your calendar reminders will save you from missing that 7 a.m. call with New York.
- How does Central Time affect cross-country meetings?
- Memphis’ -5 UTC (CDT) makes it a sweet spot for bridging East and West Coast schedules—early risers finish by lunchtime while LA teammates are just logging on.
- Is Memphis in the same time zone as Nashville?
- Not quite! Nashville uses Central Time too, but it observes daylight saving identically, so no scheduling surprises when coordinating between Tennessee cities.
- Do daylight saving changes impact riverfront events?
- Absolutely—when clocks shift in spring, sunset at Tom Lee Park swings from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m., giving festival-goers an extra golden hour over the Mississippi.
- Why does this large city feel more ‘Central’ than its East Coast neighbors?
- Despite being in the eastern half of the U.S., Central Time keeps Memphis an hour behind Atlanta—but trades that for longer summer evenings perfect for Beale Street strolls.
- How early does the sun rise during CDT?
- Around 5:45 a.m. in summer, catching early-shift Federated Logistics warehouse workers humming along with W.C. Handy tunes before the heat kicks in.
