Time zone and UTC offset in Havana
Havana follows the America/Havana time zone, abbreviated CDT. Right now its offset from Coordinated Universal Time is UTC-4.
Daylight saving time is in effect at the moment, which means local clocks run ahead of standard time. The next change comes on Sunday, November 1, 2026 at 01:00: clocks go back 1 hour, so at 01:00 the clock goes back to 00:00 and the offset becomes UTC-5. From that day the difference from Brasília is 2 hours behind. The change after that is on Sunday, March 14, 2027 at 00:00.
Time difference between Brasília and Havana
To convert, take Brasília time and subtract 1 hour; early in the morning in Brasília it may still be the previous day in Havana. The table uses today's offsets.
Going the other way, local noon in Havana is 13:00 in Brasília, and local midnight is 01:00 in Brasília. Because Havana is behind, its calendar date is still the previous day in the first 1 hour after midnight in Brasília (until 01:00). Keep this in mind for deadlines, flights and anything scheduled around the start or end of a day.
