Globe

Every city the desk covers, under real daylight. The lit side is daytime now; the maxima this desk trades are made in the few hours around each city's solar afternoon, and that band sweeps west all day. A pulsing ring is a city inside its measured peak window right now. Colour is hotness against that city's own normal, in standard deviations — the only form comparable between Chicago and Beirut. Drag to turn it — it follows your hand — scroll or use +/− to zoom, and click a city to open it underneath without leaving the globe. Each city carries a small tower: entry, win, skill, climb.
