What would the temperatures on a terraformed moon be like?

In the far future the moon is terraformed and maintains earth-like conditions for people to walk around freely. Gravity is a 6th of earth's. We assume the atmosphere is "well-functioning for human beings" and kept so by permanent maintenance.

What would the temperatures be like?

Things to consider

• the moon has 29 earth-day long days (14,5 days sunlight, 14,5 days night time, a sunset taking about a day)
• depressions and craters have filled up with water to a depth of 10 meters
• I assume wind is more turbolent, caused by the extreme length of nights and days, resulting in higher temperature differences
• there are forests and cities, but also vast deserted places either left untouched or mined. About 40/60. These areas are mainly bright, reflecting sunlight.

What I'm looking for is a plausible estimate. Would one freeze to death during night time for example, or would a temperature drop to "a slight chill" be believable.

You can make the atmosphere what it needs to be in your assumption.
