We recommend looking up by location name, not time zone name.

Time zone offset: UTC - 3 hours

BRT is 3 hours behind of Coordinated Universal Time (UTC)

Note that most places observe daylight saving time/summer time during summer, and are therefore using BRST instead in the summer. See below for details.

Time zone abbreviation: BRT

Full name is Brasília time

Email time zone indicator: -0300

An email sent from someone in the BRT time zone will have the time zone listed as "-0300" in the headers of the email. (However, "-0300" does not have to be in BRT, as other time zones could have the same UTC offset).

For actual dates DST might be observed, look at the examples below
