Climate on a planet with huge tides

Tidea is a moon with an atmosphere orbiting a giant planet. Due to that, tidal forces on Tidea are enormous.

I'm working on trying to understand how would the climate be on Tidea.

Relevant things regarding Tidea:

• Huge tidal forces.
• High tide lasts 6 days and so do low tide.
• Average 2 AU from the giant planet to Sun.
• No tilting from the Sun.
• Tidal forces warms the Tidea to have an average temperature similar to Earth (at least that what Universe Sandbox says).
• 24h orbital period (which mainly defines day and night)
• Almost 24h rotational period (just enough so tides last 6 days as said before) around the giant planet.
• Has an atmosphere similar to Earth.
• Has a lot of tectonic and volcanic activity (mainly due to the tidal heating)

How do the huge tidal forces on Tidea affect the climate? (I understand the tidal forces will also affect the atmosphere and wind currents)

Some have commented I try to cover too much on this question. I'd like to point out that I only intent to ask on a very specific interaction: The change tidal forces have on the climate. I don't ask for a whole description of Tidea's climate.
