Time zone and UTC offset in Rarotonga
Rarotonga follows the Pacific/Rarotonga time zone (this zone has no widely used letter abbreviation). Right now its offset from Coordinated Universal Time is UTC-10.
Rarotonga does not observe daylight saving time and no clock change is scheduled for the next year. Its offset stays at UTC-10 all year round. Brazil abolished daylight saving time in 2019, so the gap between the two stays fixed at 7 hours. That makes scheduling predictable: a meeting booked for any date of the year at a given Brasília time always lands at the same local time in Rarotonga.
