Didome Climate

The the 3:2 orbital resonance pattern and denser atmosphere of Didome give it an interesting climatic pattern. With Novus‌ taking 92.2 Earth days to cross the sky, half of the planet is very hot and humid, while the night side remains frigid. However, the dense atmosphere on the planet constantly draws the frigid night air to the hot noontime. As the frigid air warms up it quickly picks up moisture as it travels across the warming oceans. As this warming air reaches the midmorning parts of the planet the air has enough moisture to form light shower and rain clouds. As this this air continues to move towards the equatorial noontime, the air picks up more moisture and thermal energy making the storms more violent. As the air reaches the noon part of the planet some of the storms have the wind speeds and force of a category 1 hurricane. Finally, this hot air is pushed high into the atmosphere and flows back to the night side where it cools and starts the process over again. This super rotating wind cools down the dayside and warms up the night side; meaning that both sides of the planet remain at temperatures habitable for humans. The night side might reach temperatures of around -30 C and the day side might reach temperature close to 37 C. Temperature
