Business hours: calls and meetings

If both sides work from 09:00 to 18:00 local time, the workdays overlap from 09:00 to 17:00 Brasília time, which is 10:00 to 18:00 on UTC-2: 8 shared hours. A 09:00 start in Brasília is already 10:00 there, so the local workday ends one hour later than Brasília's. Always state the zone when you send an invitation ("14:00 Brasília time"), and use the meeting planner to compare several cities at once, or the time zone converter for an exact date.

Fernando de Noronha and the oceanic islands

Fernando de Noronha is the only municipality on UTC-2 in our database, but the zone also covers the other oceanic islands: Trindade and Martim Vaz, Rocas Atoll and the Saint Peter and Saint Paul Archipelago. Flights from the mainland show local times, so a trip to Noronha often looks one hour "longer" on paper: you arrive on a clock that is one hour ahead of Brasília.
