🇧🇷 Sao Paulo

Sao Paulo is the largest city in Brazil, with a population of about 12.4 million in the country's southeast, near 23.5 degrees south latitude. It lies in the Southern Hemisphere, where the seasons run opposite to those north of the equator. The city keeps Brasilia Time at UTC-3 and, since Brazil discontinued daylight saving, no longer advances its clocks in the southern summer; local time stays three hours behind Coordinated Universal Time all year. This fixed offset places Sao Paulo among the westerly time bands relative to Europe and Africa, and its steadiness removes the seasonal clock changes the city once observed.
