About Brasília Time (BRT)

Brasília Time (BRT, IANA: America/Sao_Paulo) is the official civil time of Brazil's most populous regions, set at UTC-3:00 — named after the federal capital city of Brasília. BRT serves approximately 175 million people across 23 of Brazil's 26 states + Federal District including the megacities São Paulo (12M), Rio de Janeiro (6.7M), Salvador (2.9M), Fortaleza (2.7M), Belo Horizonte (2.5M), Brasília (3.1M), Curitiba (1.9M). Brazil abolished Daylight Saving Time in 2019 by Presidential Decree 9772/2019 (citing minimal energy savings and disruption costs), so BRT is observed year-round without seasonal change since then. Acre State and a small portion of Amazonas use Acre Time (ACT = UTC-5:00); the remainder of Amazonas plus Mato Grosso/Mato Grosso do Sul/Rondônia use Amazon Time (AMT = UTC-4:00); the Fernando de Noronha archipelago uses UTC-2:00. BRT affects: B3 (São Paulo Stock Exchange) trading hours, Brazilian football Série A match scheduling, and Petrobras / Vale international corporate-call timing.

About Pacific Daylight Time (PDT)

Pacific Daylight Time (PDT, IANA: America/Los_Angeles during DST window) is the summer-time variant of PST, set at UTC-7:00 — observed from the second Sunday in March to the first Sunday in November per the Energy Policy Act of 2005, which extended the US DST window by ~4 weeks compared to the prior Uniform Time Act of 1966 schedule. PDT is the same offset as Mountain Standard Time (MST), creating a confusing situation where Arizona (which doesn't observe DST and stays on MST year-round) shares the same clock as California during summer months but is one hour behind during winter. PDT is used by ~50 million people in California, Oregon, Washington, Nevada, British Columbia, Yukon, and Baja California Norte. Affects: West-Coast NYSE/Nasdaq market open shifts to 06:30 PDT, professional sports West Coast game-time broadcasts to East Coast PDT prime time, and US Pacific Fleet operations from Naval Base San Diego.
