SOUTH AMERICA TIME ZONES |
|
|
|
South America uses four time zones. From west to east they are GMT -6, GMT -5, GMT -4 and GMT -3. Areas in Central America using
the GMT-6 time zone correspond with Central Standard Time in the United States and Canada. Areas in South America which use the GMT -5 time zone correspond with Eastern Standard Time in the United States and Canada.
Areas in South America which use GMT -4 correspond with the Atlantic Standard Time Zone which is used in Puerto Rico and the Caribbean. These corresponding time zones do not always result in the same local time
due to daylight saving time not being observed in all locations and different starting and ending dates in countries that do.
Daylight Saving Time in South America is used by several countries, including Brazil, Chile, Paraguay and Uruguay. In addition Easter Island and the Falkland Islands
use daylight saving time. The beginning and ending times vary for each country. Due to their global position south of the equator countries in South America usually start daylight saving time in October or November and
end the usage in January through March. View here.
