One fellow several years ago pointed out convincing evidence that the hour would be midnight. Of course is that Jerusalem time? Unfortunately I don't remember his reasons.
I hate to do too much guessing without a confirming inspiration. But if we take the guessing with prophecy thread where the year is guessed and this thread where the day and hour are guessed, we certainly should be praying at those times! Not doing stupid stuff like so many have done before under false predictions, but simply praying is good to do always.
Christ's words, You don't know the day or hour, are poorly translated. The Greek word, eido, means to be aware, consider, understand. Christ was saying, You don't understand, and each time He said it, He gave an example that fit a provision in their law for Passover a month later, "as in the days of Noah" when destruction had Passover timing, but in the 2nd spring month, Gen 7:4,11.
