How can I tell if it's day or night when I can't see the sun?

In Dragon Quest XI, after

the World Tree falls down from the sky, the sun no longer shines. It's always dark, however the following events prove there is still a day/night cycle:

  • I can still camp/rest until Dawn
  • There is still a "change to day/night" clip

The monsters are also the same in both cases, so can't be used as indication.

How can I tell if it's day or night?


Turns out to be trivial. In the Map page, there is a "compass" showing the time of day:

I noticed this only after sun got back, but pretty sure it was always there, and I just missed it.
