Understanding the offset
How Acre Time Works
The Zone, Not the Offset
Rio Branco sits in America/Rio_Branco. That name matters more than the number: an offset like the one shown above is only true today, whereas the zone name carries every rule about when the country changes its clocks. Software that stores offsets instead of zone names breaks at the next changeover.
Clock Changes
Whether Acre moves its clocks twice a year is baked into the America/Rio_Branco zone, so the offset above is always the one in force today. Places that stay on a fixed offset drift an hour relative to their neighbours for part of the year, which is the usual reason a recurring call slips.
Not One Zone Throughout
Acre is on UTC-5, two hours behind Brasília. The clock above follows Rio Branco, so check which zone applies before assuming it matches the whole region.
Answers
Acre Time Questions
What time is it in Acre right now?
The clock at the top of this page shows the current local time in Rio Branco, Acre, updating every second. It is calculated from the America/Rio_Branco zone using your browser's copy of the IANA time zone database, so daylight saving is applied automatically.
What time zone is Acre in?
Rio Branco uses the America/Rio_Branco zone, and the current UTC offset is shown in the panel above. Acre is on UTC-5, two hours behind Brasília.
Does Acre change its clocks?
The offset shown above already accounts for daylight saving wherever it applies, because it comes from the time zone database rather than a fixed number. If Acre is on a fixed offset all year, the panel simply never changes.
How do I convert Acre time to my own?
The comparison line above already shows the difference between Rio Branco and your own device clock. For a specific date rather than right now, use the time zone converter, which applies the daylight saving rules for the date you enter.
Where does the weather come from?
Open-Meteo, a free weather service. The request goes directly from your browser to their API, so nothing about your visit passes through our server. It reports current conditions and a short forecast for Rio Branco.
