About Recife's Time Zone
Recife operates on the Brasilia Standard Time time zone (GMT-3).
With a metropolitan population of approximately 4,054,866, it is one of the most significant cities in Brazil.
Brazil does not observe Daylight Saving Time, so Recife maintains the GMT-3 offset year-round — a convenience for international scheduling since the offset never changes.
The IANA timezone identifier for Recife is America/Recife, used by operating systems and programming languages worldwide.
When scheduling calls, meetings, or travel involving Recife, always verify the current UTC offset since daylight saving transitions can shift the relative time difference with other regions.
