Who keeps UTC−03:00

6 of the zones keeping UTC−03:00 right now are only visiting — daylight saving moves them between rungs. One neighbour, Miquelon, is based here but is spending the season a rung away.

Frequently asked questions

Answers generated from live data for UTC−03:00. Can't find what you need? Email [email protected].

What time is it at UTC−03:00 right now?
UTC−03:00 is always exactly 3 hours behind Coordinated Universal Time, every day of the year. The clock at the top of this page shows its current time live — in military usage this offset is zone P (Papa).
Which countries use UTC−03:00?
29 territories keep UTC−03:00 year-round: Brazil (America/Araguaina), Paraguay (America/Asuncion), Brazil (America/Bahia), Brazil (America/Belem). Others visit seasonally through daylight saving.
Is São Paulo always on UTC−03:00?
Yes. São Paulo does not observe daylight saving time, so it stays at UTC−03:00 every day of the year.
What's the difference between UTC−03:00 and BST?
UTC−03:00 is the numeric offset; BST (Brasilia Standard Time) is one named time zone that keeps it. Other zones can share the offset while following entirely different rules and history — same clock, different identity.
