My current project is scraping weather data from websites for calculation. Part of this calculation involves different logic depending on if the current time is before or after noon.

```
import pandas as pd
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import requests
import numpy as np  

# Arkansas State Plant Board Weather Web data
url1 = "http://170.94.200.136/weather/Inversion.aspx"
response1 = requests.get(url1)

soup1 = BeautifulSoup(response1.content)
table1 = soup1.find("table", id="MainContent_GridView1")

data1 = pd.read_html(str(table1),header=0)[0] 
data1.columns = ['Station', 'Low Temp (F)', 'Time of Low', 'Current Temp (F)', 'Current Time',  'Wind Speed (MPH)', 'Wind Dir', 'High Temp (F)', 'Time Of High']

print(url1)
print(data1[0:4])

array1 = np.array(data1[0:4])

```

This is my code to bring in the data I need. However, I don't know how to compare the current time I request as a Unicode string to see if it is before or after noon. Can anyone help me with this?

Edit: some data from the current request

```
