Frequently Asked Questions

What is the time difference between EDT and BRT?

During standard time, Brasília Time is 1 hours ahead of Eastern Daylight Time.

When does EDT start and end?

EDT begins on the second Sunday in March at 02:00 local time, when clocks spring forward one hour from EST (UTC-5) to EDT (UTC-4). It ends on the first Sunday in November at 02:00 local time, when clocks fall back to EST. In 2026, EDT runs from March 8 through November 1.

Is EDT the same as EST?

EDT and EST are two phases of the same Eastern Time zone, not two separate zones. EST (Eastern Standard Time) is the winter offset at UTC-5, observed from early November through mid-March. EDT (Eastern Daylight Time) is the summer offset at UTC-4, active during Daylight Saving Time — meaning New York and Toronto run one hour ahead of their winter clock for roughly eight months of every year.

Does Brazil observe Daylight Saving Time?

Brazil officially abolished Daylight Saving Time by presidential decree in April 2019, ending a practice that had been observed in the country's southeastern states since 1985. BRT has remained fixed at UTC-3:00 every day of the year since then, meaning the B3 stock exchange, federal government, and all Brazilian commercial operations run on a permanent, unchanging offset.

Is BRT the same as Argentina Time (ART)?

BRT (Brasília Time) and ART (Argentina Time) share the identical UTC-3:00 offset and neither country observes Daylight Saving Time, making São Paulo and Buenos Aires permanently synchronized on the same clock. Despite the different official designations, a meeting set for 10:00 BRT in São Paulo falls at exactly 10:00 ART in Buenos Aires — a fixed relationship that never shifts seasonally.
