Season, Moon and Sun today
Brazil lies mostly in the Southern Hemisphere, so its seasons are the opposite of Europe and North America. Right now it is spring in Brazil: the season began on September 22, 2026, 37 days ago, and summer starts on December 21, 2026. In the Northern Hemisphere it is autumn. The exact moments of every equinox and solstice are on the start of the seasons page.
The Moon is a waning gibbous, about 79% illuminated and 19.3 days into its cycle (the cycle averages 29.5 days). See the full calendar on Moon phase today. In São Paulo the Sun rose at 05:22 and sets at 18:18, giving a day length of 12h 55min; for other cities, check sunrise and sunset.
How day-of-year and week numbers work
The day of the year simply counts days from January 1 (day 1) to December 31 (day 365, or 366 in a leap year). Leap years add February 29 and occur every four years, except century years not divisible by 400 (2100 is not a leap year; 2000 was). Week numbers follow ISO 8601: weeks start on Monday, and week 1 is the one containing the year's first Thursday, so the last days of December can belong to week 1 of the next year, and early January to week 52 or 53 of the previous one. The United States and some other countries instead number from the week containing January 1, which is why a week count can differ by one between systems. To see other dates, use the week number page, or ask which weekday a date falls on with what day of the week was it.
Why the date depends on the time zone
The date is not the same everywhere at the same instant. When it is 21:00 or later in Brasília (UTC-3), it is already the next day in UTC and in Europe, and for most of the day Brazil is hours behind Asia and Oceania. This page always shows the official date in Brasília, taken from the server clock, so it stays correct even if your device clock or time zone is off. Use the UTC time page to see the universal date, the time zones guide to understand offsets, and the online clock for the exact time.
