Not quite a home from home yet. Although finding something so earth-like so close given the limits of technology does suggest there will be more Earth-like objects/planets (ELOs? ELPs?) in the immediate area.
No, no, no :-) 0-40°C --- not necessarily very warm, I don't get the flat reference, and what I meant isn't necessarily being very windy: there could be brutal wind direction/precipitation changes, maybe even global phase shifts in every orbit, or alternatively (depending on rotation period, axis tilt) there could be stark regional differences, which in turn can drive planet-wide circulation systems. The more interesting if there is water and there is coupling between the atmosphere and oceans, like on Earth but possibly on a grander scale. *Lunatic*, n. One whose delusions are out of fashion.
0-40°C is an estimate, but I'd guess with water vapour and energy input shading into infra red wavelengths there would be more chance of the latter.

Yep - windy. :)
