noontide

The doors are hung with heavy curtains to exclude the noontide heat, as is still common in Italian churches.

It was a pity I could not do justice to the good things we turned out upon the grass when we made our noontide halts.

The hot sun poured down its noontide rays, the dust arose in parching clouds, and followed with the wind their flagging footsteps.

Reverses, sickness, death—they seem to follow some people as surely as the shadow follows the sun at noontide.

As there was no dividing line between the morning and noontide, neither was there any between the afternoon and evening.
