Capiatá is one of the most populous municipalities in Greater Asunción, Paraguay’s capital region. It runs on America/Asuncion: UTC-3, year-round. Paraguay observed daylight saving time for decades, shifting between UTC-4 (winter) and UTC-3 (summer), but in 2024 the country stopped falling back and now maintains a permanent UTC-3 offset.[4]

The permanent UTC-3 keeps Capiatá and the rest of Paraguay in constant alignment with Buenos Aires and Brazil’s southern states. Argentina does not observe DST and sits at UTC-3 year-round, so the previous twice-yearly hour difference that opened and closed between the two countries no longer exists.

A suburb without its own fame

Capiatá is a residential and industrial suburb that has grown substantially as Asunción’s metropolitan area expanded. Like many peri-urban areas in South America, it developed rapidly in the late twentieth century as internal migration from rural Paraguay filled the capital region. The city has its own municipality but is functionally integrated into Greater Asunción’s urban system.

Paraguay’s timezone alignment

Paraguay borders Brazil to the north and east (which uses UTC-3 for most of its territory) and Argentina and Bolivia to the south and west. The permanent UTC-3 simplifies commercial and logistical scheduling with Paraguay’s main trading partners.

The time conversion from Capiatá to London is three hours behind year-round (four when UK observes BST).
