Natal is located at 5.79°S, 35.21°W. Its latitude determines how dramatically daylight hours change through the year.
The city uses the America/Fortaleza timezone (GMT-3). It does not observe Daylight Saving Time, so solar times shift gradually through the year without abrupt clock changes.
Solar noon — the moment the sun reaches its highest point in the sky — occurs when the sun crosses the local meridian. In Natal this falls around 11:19 in mid-summer and 11:10 in December, reflecting UTC offset and any DST adjustments.
