Rio de Janeiro is 5 hours behind Zurich

Best overlap: 1:00 PM to 6:00 PM in Zurich is 8:00 AM to 1:00 PM in Rio de Janeiro.

Both teams are at their desks between 1:00 PM to 6:00 PM in Zurich and 8:00 AM to 1:00 PM in Rio de Janeiro. Roughly 5 hours of shared hours means scheduling takes a little care — 1:00 PM in Zurich / 8:00 AM in Rio de Janeiro is a safe default. A quick caveat — Zurich's clocks move for daylight saving and Rio de Janeiro's don't, so the times here are right for only part of the year.
