what time is late afternoon hours
Best Answer: There is no rule, but I consider afternoon to be from 12:01 (obviously) to 5PM, which I consider the beginning of evening. Generally, I consider 4PM-5PM to be late afternoon. But that is arbitrary, and it is just me. I know some people who think 2PM is still 'morning'. So even if you could pinpoint the time, it doesn't mean the person you have an appointment with is thinking the same thing...
