Live clocks for every Chile city — UTC offsets, DST status, and inter-city time gaps.
South America spans four main timezones — Brasilia Time (UTC-3), Argentina Time (UTC-3), Peru / Colombia / Ecuador (UTC-5), and Venezuela (UTC-4). DST practice varies: Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay ended their DST years ago; Paraguay still observes it; Chile observes it in most regions but not all. Brasilia and Buenos Aires anchor the regional business day at UTC-3.
Chile uses Chile Standard Time (CLT, UTC−4) in winter and Chile Summer Time (CLST, UTC−3) in summer. Chile's seasons are reversed relative to the Northern Hemisphere — summer in Chile runs from December to March.
DST in 2025: clocks spring forward on Saturday night 4 October 2025 (start of Chilean spring) and fall back on Saturday night 5 April 2025 (start of Chilean autumn). This puts Santiago and other Chilean cities on UTC−3 during the Southern Hemisphere summer.
The Magallanes Region (Punta Arenas) permanently uses UTC−3, without seasonal changes — it was moved to permanent 'summer time' in 2016. Easter Island (Isla de Pascua) uses a separate offset: UTC−6 standard / UTC−5 during summer time.
Key gaps from Santiago: New York (EST) is 1–2 hours ahead depending on season. London is 3–4 hours ahead. Buenos Aires (UTC−3) shares roughly the same time during Chilean summer.
