Jan 26, 2017 at 15:39 comment added Michael Richardson If the oceanic basins are continuous and properly positioned (possibly with the hottest part of the planet being an ocean basin) it could do much towards transferring heat to the dark side. Also, a long term tidally locked planet will have bulges on the near and far side (south and north, on this planet). These areas could be volcanic, which could give you localized sources of heat for the north.
