About Salvador time
Salvador keeps one clock.
In Salvador, Brazil's oldest capital, the days start early with the sun spilling over the Atlantic and set before you've had a chance to catch your breath, making the afternoon your golden window to sync with teams further north. Coordinating with North American colleagues is surprisingly seamless, since Salvador's Brazilia-preferred time of -03 aligns neatly with US Eastern hours during their morning.
