Why Recife has its own time
Brazil spans 16 time zones, so the answer depends on where in it you mean. Recife covers pernambuco and is on the same clock as Sao Paulo, though the two are separate zones in the IANA database and can diverge when daylight saving rules differ.
Recife does not observe daylight saving, so its offset from UTC never moves. Its relationship to places that do change shifts twice a year instead.
