There ought to be no latitudinal difference to Gloranthan day length. The fact that each noon has the sun almost vertically above has always been one of the stranger facts of Glorantha to me (more so than any horizon theories).
The sky dome wobbles so that Pole Star is slightly north of the vertical axis in midsummer and notably south of it in midwinter. In summer, the sun is closer to the Sky Dome (and more of its heat gets reflected?), in winter it is lower (closer to the realms of Middle Air), and provides less heat.
Another explanation for winters being colder could be the fire spill to southern Pamaltela.
Anyway, Glorantha is too small to show significant latitudinal differences on either continent, although the continents might experience differences in day length. The far regions where this could matter are subject to stranger effects (Altinela, Nargan Sea).
