Complete Time Zone Guide for Suriname

SyncMyTime displays accurate time for Paramaribo. Suriname Time (SRT, UTC-3) is maintained year-round.

Time Zone History

Suriname adopted permanent UTC-3 after independence from the Netherlands in 1975. The country has never observed daylight saving time. The time zone reflects Suriname's position on South America's northern coast. As one of few South American countries using UTC-3, Suriname's time facilitates coordination with eastern Brazil and Atlantic island nations.

Culture & Daily Rhythm

Surinamese daily life is remarkably diverse with Hindu, Muslim, Christian, indigenous, and African populations in South America's smallest country. The workday typically runs 7:30 AM-4:30 PM. Dutch is official language with Sranan Tongo (Creole) as lingua franca. Religious diversity means Hindu, Muslim, Jewish, and Christian holidays all observed. Javanese and Hindustani influences create unique cuisine. Markets reflect cultural diversity. Interior rainforest regions maintain Maroon (escaped slave descendants) and indigenous communities. Bauxite mining historically dominated but gold mining has grown. Cricket reflects colonial legacy.
