When I talk to people in overseas on the phone, in my case, I use (1) こっちは今　夕方だよ。(colloquial expression. when you are talking to friends or family) (2) こちらは今　夕方です。(a bit more formal than (1). when you are talking to the elders or Senpai) to describe "it is evening here".

Hello!! ＊It's evening where I am 私が　住んでいる　ところは、夕方です。 （わたしが　すんでいる　ところは　ゆうがた　です） watashi ga sunde iru tokoro wa yuugata desu I hope my Japanese will help your writing♪
