Lunch hour starts
Twelve pm is noon—the middle of the day when the sun is highest.
The designation comes from the Latin post meridiem (after midday), though 12 pm technically marks the transition point itself rather than a time after it.
This creates confusion; some prefer noon or 12 noon for clarity.
The meeting is scheduled for 12 pm.
