How many time zones does Brazil have?

Brazil has four standard time zones: Brasilia Time (BRT, UTC-3), Amazon Time (AMT, UTC-4), Acre Time (ACT, UTC-5), and Fernando de Noronha Time (FNT, UTC-2). The vast majority of the population lives in the BRT zone.

Does Brazil observe daylight saving time?

Brazil officially abolished daylight saving time (horario de verao) in 2019 via Decree 9.772. All states now stay on their standard offset year-round with no clock changes.

What time zone is Sao Paulo in?

Sao Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Brasilia, Salvador, Fortaleza, and most of Brazil are on Brasilia Time (BRT), which is UTC-3 year-round.

What time zone is Manaus in?

Manaus and most of the Amazon region (Amazonas, Roraima, Rondonia, Mato Grosso, Mato Grosso do Sul) use Amazon Time (AMT), UTC-4 year-round.

What is Acre Time (ACT)?

Acre Time (ACT, UTC-5) is used in the state of Acre and the extreme southwest of Amazonas state. It is one hour behind Amazon Time and two hours behind Brasilia Time.

Where is Fernando de Noronha Time used?

Fernando de Noronha Time (FNT, UTC-2) applies only to the Fernando de Noronha archipelago, a federal territory located about 354 km off the northeastern coast of Brazil.

Is this tool accurate for the current date?

Yes. The clocks use the Intl.DateTimeFormat API with official IANA time zone identifiers, so they reflect the correct offset for today's date in each Brazilian zone.
