I think no. It seems to me that Noon on Glorantha is the hour at which Yelm is at his highest point above the lozenge, in the mid point between Dawn and Dusk.
But yes, the hottest point of the day would be at differing times in differing places. Umm. Hadn't thought of that.
In the East Isles, things start out with a blaze of heat at Dawn and then get cooler. On the far side, the day would build to a climax of heat as Yelm races closer. Only in the centre would the cycle of the days be the same as on Earth.
