Meridies is fifth declension:
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latin_declension#Fifth_declension_.28e.29>

Singular:
nominative meridies
genetive    meridiei

accusative    meridiem
ablative    meridie

Plural:
nominative meridies
genetive    meridierum
dative  meridiebus

Skip the vocative case. Usually and here, it is identical to nominative. It
would only be used in sentences such as "O Meridian, your extent amazes us
mortals!" Meridian, by the way, is the English spelling we use.
