Time zone and UTC offset in Rio Branco
Rio Branco follows the America/Rio_Branco time zone (this zone has no widely used letter abbreviation). Right now its offset from Coordinated Universal Time is UTC-5.
Rio Branco does not observe daylight saving time and no clock change is scheduled for the next year. Its offset stays at UTC-5 all year round. Brazil abolished daylight saving time in 2019, so the gap between the two stays fixed at 2 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 Rio Branco.
