Early evening

 "Afternoon" refers to the time of day that begins after 12:00 PM (noon) and typically lasts until evening, around 5:00 or 6:00 PM. It's often a time associated with continued work or leisure activities, depending on the day and culture. In many places, afternoons can be warm, especially in summer, and are a common time for siestas or breaks in some cultures.
