Refers to the time shortly after noon, roughly from 12:00 to early afternoon. Can be used as a noun or adverbially.

午ご後ご
午後 is the formal term for 'afternoon' or 'p.m.', while 昼過ぎ is more casual and specifically means 'just past noon' or 'early afternoon'.
昼ひる下さがり
昼下がり also means 'early afternoon', but often implies a slightly later time than 昼過ぎ, with a nuance of the day winding down.

Compound of 昼 (noon) and 過ぎ (past, exceeding).
