Time zone and UTC offset in Riga
Riga follows the Europe/Riga time zone, abbreviated EEST. Right now its offset from Coordinated Universal Time is UTC+3.
Daylight saving time is in effect at the moment, which means local clocks run ahead of standard time. The next change comes on Sunday, October 25, 2026 at 04:00: clocks go back 1 hour, so at 04:00 the clock goes back to 03:00 and the offset becomes UTC+2. From that day the difference from Brasília is 5 hours ahead. The change after that is on Sunday, March 28, 2027 at 03:00.
Time difference between Brasília and Riga
To convert, take Brasília time and add 6 hours; when the sum passes midnight, the date in Riga is already the next day. The table uses today's offsets.
Going the other way, local noon in Riga is 06:00 in Brasília, and local midnight is 18:00 (previous day) in Brasília. Because Riga is ahead, its calendar date is one day later than in Brasília from 18:00 until midnight Brasília time. Keep this in mind for deadlines, flights and anything scheduled around the start or end of a day.

Best time to call Riga from Brazil
Taking a 9:00 to 18:00 working day on both sides, the shared window runs from 09:00 to 12:00 in Brasília, which is 15:00 to 18:00 in Riga. That is only 3 hours, so one or two slots a day are all you get; confirm the time in advance. Because Riga changes its clocks, this window shifts by one hour after the next change.
