When it is 3 pm CET what time is in Brazil?

Answer 1

Usually when it's 9:00 a.m. EDT [Eastern Daylight Time], the time in Brazil may range from the same time [9:00 a.m.] in the western states to one hour later [10:00 a.m.] in the eastern states to two hours later [11:00 a.m.] in the Fernando de Noronha Archipelago [Arquipélago de Fernando de Noronha] off the northeast coast.

Ten states and the Federal District [Distrito Federal] in Brazil observe daylight saving time [DST] and set their clocks ahead one hour on the third Sunday in October, while the Eastern Time Zone is still observing DST. During that time, two western states of Mato Grosso and Mato Grosso do Sul would change from the same time to one hour later [10:00 a.m.]. The other eight eastern states [Espírito Santo, Goiás, Minas Gerais, Paraná, Rio de Janeiro, Rio Grande do Sul, Santa Catarina, São Paulo] plus the Federal District would change from one hour later to two hours later [11:00 a.m.].

In summary, between the 2nd Sunday of March and the 3rd Sunday of October, when it's 9 AM EDT, it's 9 AM AMT, 10 AM BRT and 11 AM FNT in Brazil, and between the 3rd Sunday of October and the 1st Sunday of November, when it's 9 AM EDT, it's 9 AM AMT, 10 AM AMST, 10 AM BRT, 11 AM BRST and 11 AM FNT in Brazil.
