The situation is the following:

The world is split in two hemispheres: the Western Hemisphere and the Eastern Hemisphere.

The Western Hemisphere is entirely made of water, and the Eastern Hemisphere is entirely made of land. This land is quite flat, the reliefs are small enough, so that they don't change the climate.

More oceanic influences and less likely of cold weather in winter.

Even in the central part?

Central and Eastern portions of the Eastern Hemisphere would be highly continental, probably more so than Siberia. The west coast would be very moderated, with perhaps a lot of instablity in between the highly oceanic and continental climates due to a big pressure and temperature gradient. Any easterly winds to the west coast would likely bring highly continental weather. There would likely be a lot of desert in this climate anywhere central and east. The Equator would likely be extremely hot in inland portions.



But there needs to be more. Is there mountain ranges? What's the geography like over land? Any plateaus or hills?


EDIT: Never mind. I read your OP closer and realized you did describe the geography.

Water used to cover ca 70% of earths surface. This seems to be ca 50%. So a huge difference. A less oceanic climate?
However, the lack of mountain ranges is also very important.
I assume the land and sea also meet at the poles? Then no more circumpolare water movements.
The sea might be more stagnant here.

I wonder what a climate located at say 65 N, on the eastern part of this continent about 1,000 miles inland would be? Remember, the eastern side is likely bordered by ocean too.

The North Pole and South Pole would have similar temps as opposed to the SP being significantly colder.

Would a climate with +30 °C highs in January and -30 °C lows in July be possible?
