Where does the sun rise latest in Brazil today?

Among the 5,571 municipalities, Jacareacanga (PA) has the latest sunrise by local clock today, at 06:25. The 50th place, Senador José Porfírio (PA), is at 06:02, only 23 minutes apart.

And at the other extreme?

At the opposite end of the list is Aparecida do Taboado (MS) with 04:44 (earliest sunrise). The gap between the two extremes today is 101 minutes.

Why is the ranking made by local clock time?

Because that is the time people actually see. Brazil has four time zones, so the same instant shows different clock times: Fernando de Noronha ranks 482nd on its UTC−2 clock and Rio Branco ranks 4,869th on Acre's UTC−5 clock. The "In Brasília" column converts each city to Brasília time when the zone differs.

Where does Brasília (DF) rank today?

The capital ranks 1,709th of 5,571 in this list, with sunrise at 05:36. Brasília lies at 15.8°S, 47.9°W.

Does this ranking change over the year?

Yes. It is recalculated every day for the Brasília date (2026-10-29). The order of the cities shifts with the seasons because the Sun moves between the hemispheres, and with the equation of time, a small seasonal drift of solar noon of up to about 16 minutes.

How are the times calculated?

With astronomical formulas (NOAA algorithm) applied to the coordinates of each municipality, using the Sun's center at 0.833° below the horizon, which includes atmospheric refraction and the Sun's radius. Terrain, altitude and local weather are not considered, so published times can differ by a minute or two.

Why is the result what it is?

The ranking compares the local clock time of the sunrise in each of the 5,571 Brazilian municipalities for the Brasília date shown above. Today the last place on the list is Jacareacanga (PA) at 06:25, while the 50th place, Senador José Porfírio (PA), has its sunrise at 06:02: the whole top 50 fits in a window of just 23 minutes. By state, the list has: Pará (28), Amapá (16) and Amazonas (6).

Why does that city lead? The main reason is longitude inside the time zone. The Earth turns 15° per hour, so every degree of longitude shifts the Sun by 4 minutes, but a time zone uses a single clock for a band that is many degrees wide. Jacareacanga sits about 12.8° west of the 45°W meridian that defines its time zone (UTC−3), so, by longitude alone, solar noon arrives roughly 51 minutes after the clock says 12:00 and the whole solar day is shifted later. The second factor is latitude combined with the season: on dates like today the southern part of the country has the longer days, so southern cities tend to rise earlier and set later on the clock than northern ones at the same longitude. The effect is small near the Equator and grows toward the far south, and it reverses in the other half of the year.

Brazil spans from about 34.8°W (Pitimbu (PB), on the mainland coast) to 72.9°W (Mâncio Lima (AC)), roughly 2.5 hours of solar time. The easternmost point of the mainland is Ponta do Seixas, in João Pessoa (PB), where the first light of the day touches continental Brazil. On one common clock, Brasília time, the first sunrise of the country today is in Fernando de Noronha (PE) at 04:46. The ranking above uses each city's own clock instead, which here coincides with Brasília time for the leader. Brazil has four official clocks (UTC−2 to UTC−5), and none of them removes the natural gap between east and west.

Local time, time zones and Brasília time

Ranking by local clock, not by Brasília time. Fernando de Noronha (PE) uses UTC−2, one hour ahead of Brasília, and ranks 482nd by local clock, with sunrise at 05:46 (04:46 in Brasília time); Rio Branco (AC) follows Acre's UTC−5, two hours behind Brasília, and ranks 4,869th (05:01 local, 07:01 in Brasília time); Manaus (AM), at UTC−4, ranks 1,558th. Brazil has four official clocks, so the table always shows the local clock time of each city, the one a resident would see on a wall clock. When a city's time zone differs from Brasília, the "In Brasília" column gives the same instant on Brasília time, which is useful to compare cities on a single timeline.
