There are several forms for date and time notation in Colombia.
In Colombia, the standard dd/mm/yyyy is widely used:
Also long date format is used, example:
Colombia uses the 12-hour format for clocks, but a format specifying the place of the sun is more commonly used for informal communication. This is because there are no time seasons, so that sunset and dawn are at approximately the same time every day. For example:
| Time Span/Example | Media Noche (Midnight) | Madrugada (Early Morning) | Mañana (Morning) | Medio Día (Noon) | Tarde (Afternoon) | Noche (Night) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Time Span | 12:00 am – 12:59 am | 1 am - 5:59 am | 6:00 am – 11:59 am | 12:00 pm – 12:59 pm | 1:00 pm – 6:59 pm | 7:00 pm – 11:59 pm |
| Example | Media noche | 3:20 de la madrugada | 8:25 de la mañana | Medio día | 6:30 de la tarde | 7:30 de la noche |
