The next changes

They do not. Brazil has no daylight saving; the clock is UTC−3:00 year round.

Brazil spans 9 time zones; these dates are computed from America/Sao_Paulo. Regions that opt out of daylight saving — where they exist — keep standard time through the summer.

Transitions are computed directly from the IANA time-zone database at build time, not from a hand-kept table — if the rules change, these dates change with the next daily build.

FAQ

When do the clocks change in Brazil?

They do not. Brazil has no daylight saving; the clock is UTC−3:00 year round.

Why does the time difference to other countries wobble?

Countries change their clocks on different dates — Europe and North America are a week or more apart — so for a few weeks each spring and autumn the usual difference is temporarily an hour off. Every overlap and difference figure on this site reads the current offsets from the IANA time-zone database, so those weeks are handled automatically.
