About the time in São Paulo
Sunrise today lands at 06:27 and sunset at 05:52 local time, giving 11h 24m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (-23.63, -46.64) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in São Paulo.
São Paulo runs on America/Sao_Paulo, which puts the city UTC −3 from Coordinated Universal Time right now. The clock at the top of this page is not copied from your device: it is anchored to our reference timestamp and re-rendered every second against the IANA time zone database, so it stays right even when a laptop or phone has quietly drifted.
Clocks in São Paulo 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.
