Convert EAT to BRT

BRT is 6 hours behind EAT. EAT is UTC+3 and BRT is UTC−3.

Best time to schedule a meeting

Standard 9–5 working hours overlap for 2 hours: 3:00 PM–5:00 PM EAT (9:00 AM–11:00 AM BRT). Schedule meetings inside that window.

About EAT

East Africa Time (EAT) is UTC+3. It is used in Kenya, Tanzania, Ethiopia, Uganda and Somalia.

East Africa Time is UTC+3 and fixed. Nairobi, Addis Ababa and Dar es Salaam all keep it. Ethiopia additionally uses a clock that counts from dawn rather than midnight for everyday purposes, six hours off the international one, so a time given locally in Addis may need converting twice rather than once.

About BRT

Brasília Time (BRT) is UTC−3. It is used in São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and most of populated Brazil.

Brasília Time is UTC−3, covering São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and Brasília. Brazil abolished daylight saving in 2019, so the offset is now fixed year-round — but a great deal of older software, and a lot of published advice, still assumes the southern-hemisphere shift that used to run from October to February. If a Brazilian meeting time was correct last year and is an hour out now, an out-of-date time zone database is the likely cause.

Does this gap change with the seasons?

Neither EAT nor BRT shifts with the seasons, so this 6-hour difference holds all year. That is unusual enough to be worth relying on: most cross-continental gaps move twice a year.

This is the reason scheduling systems store an IANA zone such as Region/City rather than an offset or an abbreviation: the zone knows its own rules and the offset does not.
