Also, bear in mind that during the winter, when the northern hemisphere is inclined away from the sun, the northern hemisphere is on the "underside" of the rings. Winters would probably be measurably harsher, with the shadow of the rings blocking the sun for some portion of the day. Also the equatorial region would probably be less warm in general, for the same reason.
