when does afternoon become evening
If I were a petal
And plucked, or moth, plucked
From flowers or pollen froth
To wither on a young child’s
Display. Fetch
Me a ribbon, they, all dead
Things scream.

In The Netherlands we use

00:00 - 6:00 Night
6:00 - 12:00 Morning
12:00 - 18:00 Midday (which would be (after)noon)
18:00 - 00:00 Evening

So by that logic, evening would start at 6:00 PM or 18:00 for me.

It's not even worth debating. There are two fix points with 0:00 being midnight and 12:00 being midday. Then there is a second set of logical fix points with the exact times of sunrise and sunset at equinox. That is 6:00 and 18:00. The next thing we have to do is simply to attach labels to the four time frames between the fix points.


It is the same thing as the actual new year starts on 21st of December with Sol Invictus being reborn.

5:00 pm just seems too late to call afternoon.

It's more too early to call it evening than too late to call it afternoon

If it's still quite sunny out at 5 I would probably refer to it as an early evening tbh

It depends. In western china, it's still bright at 21:00.

That's why you call it "late afternoon"...

It's also too early to call early evening. Maybe 5:00-6:00 pm could be called "around supper time"

6 on weekdays, 3 or 4 on fridays (depending at what time you can get off work), 8 on weekend

I'd say 5-5:30pm can be considered either late afternoon or early evening depending on the context

As usual, I'm firmly with the ear on this one. It could be considered evening from when it gets dark. However I'd generally say around 5 p.m. with 3:30 being far too early. 6 p.m is also too late for all those winter days where it is dreary all day and starts getting dark before 4 o'clock.
