This is easily done using AppleScript's 'current date' and a little math:

set theTime to time of (current date)
set theHour to theTime div hours

'time of (current date)' returns the number of seconds since midnight. A
simple division by hours returns a number from 0 to 23 depending on the hour
which you can plug into the rest of your script.
