Happening at an hour of prayer, corresponding to 9 am, the initial outpouring of holy spirit took place in the temple area.

Acts 2:6,14,15 "...the multitude came together and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language. But Peter, standing up... said ...these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day..."

Because it was the third hour of the day, the apostles were in an hour of prayer. For this activity, they had transitioned from their living quarters (the upper room) to their usual prayer location (the temple).

Luke 24:53 "And were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God. Amen."

Peter's sermon continued as Acts 2 records, resulting in about three thousand new believers joining the church.

Acts 2:41 "Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls."
