About time in São Paulo
Brazil abolished daylight saving in 2019, so São Paulo now stays on the same offset all year. That change quietly altered its relationship with the northern hemisphere: the gap to London and New York used to swing across the year and is now driven only by those cities' own clock changes. Brazil spans several zones, but São Paulo's is the one most of the country's business runs on.
