What temperatures could I expect to find on a world with a 9 year day?

+0
−0

I am working on a world where, instead of 24 hours, a day lasts 9 years. On this world the land far exceeds the oceans, to the point where the bodies of water are simply massive lakes (a la the Caspian Sea). The inhabitants of the world are forced to endlessly migrate across the world as a result of this.

Other interesting features of this world are it's two small moons and its large ring going around the equator. Assume that all else in this world is Earth-like, such as it's AU, size and gravity.

On a world with a 9 year day, what temperatures could I expect to find at various longitudes and latitudes, regardless of environmental pressures?
