Climate
Although there exists no climate data for the summit or even the upper slopes of Vulcan State Forest, there is, however, climate data existing for a lower region located farther south in the Gurnang State Forest.

The region is subject to high winds and volatile weather year-round. Snow falls heavily, although by no means a regular occurrence due to its northern latitude.
