Rock salt mining beneath Maceió caused ground subsidence from 2018 that forced the evacuation of five neighbourhoods and around 60,000 people — one of the largest urban ground collapses anywhere in recent decades.
The clock: Maceió keeps UTC−3. Its offshore reefs create natural pools at low tide, which is most of the reason its beaches are so photographed.
Maceió lies at 35.7°W. Its time zone, UTC−3, is built around the 45°W meridian. The 9.3° gap between them means the clock runs roughly 37 minutes behind the sun: solar noon arrives at about 11:23 rather than 12:00. The zone holds UTC−3 all year — there is no daylight saving here.
The longest day of 2026 is 22 December, with 12h 41m of daylight. The shortest is 22 June, with 11h 33m. The swing between them is 1h 8m. Within a few degrees of the equator the length of the day barely moves all year.
The earliest sunrise and the latest sunset do not land on the longest day. In Maceió the sun comes up earliest on 16 November at 04:51, while the latest sunset waits until 29 January at 17:52. The equation of time is what separates them: the Earth's elliptical orbit and axial tilt move solar noon back and forth by several minutes over the year.
The sky stays usably light for a while after the sun goes down. In Maceió that civil twilight runs about 21 minutes at the equinox.
