Worked example for São Paulo

If both offices work 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, São Paulo and London share 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM in São Paulo on 10 November 2026, when São Paulo is 3 hours behind London. On 13 July 2027 São Paulo is 4 hours behind London, so the shared window becomes 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM in São Paulo.

On 21 December 2026 the sun rises in São Paulo at about 5:16 AM and sets at 6:51 PM (13 h 35 min of daylight). On 21 June 2027 it rises at 6:47 AM and sets at 5:28 PM (10 h 40 min). Because São Paulo lies about 7 minutes west of the meridian its clock is based on, solar noon falls after 12:00 by that much, before the equation of time is added.
