About the time in Poteau
Poteau is on daylight saving time at the moment, which is why the offset reads UTC −5 instead of its winter value. Clocks go back on 1 November 2026, and anything scheduled across that date shifts by an hour.
Around 8,520 people live in Poteau, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
Sunrise today lands at 06:43 and sunset at 08:00 local time, giving 13h 17m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (35.04, -94.64) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Poteau.
