I did not know Brazil has 4 time zones, then you obviously cannot avoid it.
Guess I fell for one of the common errors when handling dates and times, assuming countries only have a single timezones.

Besides that, even when we had daylight savings this was not applied to all states.

The DST was applied only to the states in the south, so even though two cities are in the same timezone, during the DST period they could have different times.

Not sure if this kind of stuff occurs in other countries as well.
