Given the proposed year, the planet should probably be tidally locked, greatly reducing the difficulty imposed by flares. Just move a bit closer to the equator (which in this case would be the plane perpendicular to the vector running between planet and star), and you have more atmosphere between you and the star, thereby producing something of a goldilocks zone on the planet (specifically, the temperate area with sunproximalight).GeoModder wrote:Unfortunately Proxima Centauri is quite an active flare star.
I imagine that the wind currents are impressive. Supposing that it is tidally locked, I'd expect a generalized high-level movement towards the cold side, and low-level flow towards the hot side, producing a decently gentle temperature gradiant in the "dawn-torials". Of course, if there's neither bulk atmosphere nor bulk sea/ocean, then this is bunk and it's likely to be the same half-char/half-raw meatloaf that you'd normally expect from tidal locking; and possibly the same if two semi-fixed weather fronts dominate the atmosphere, instead of a generalized mid-level mixing trend.
