About the time in Recife
Around 1,536,934 people live in Recife, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
Sunrise today lands at 05:00 and sunset at 05:13 local time, giving 12h 14m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (-8.01, -34.95) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Recife.
Clocks in Recife stay put all year. There is no summer-time switch to remember, so UTC −3 is what you will get in January and in July alike — useful if you book recurring calls with people in Brazil.
