West Luxania has a tropical savanna climate with warm temperatures year-round, abundant sunshine and marked wet and dry seasons.

Summer is hot and sunny with occasional thunderstorms and showers. Afternoon temperatures are usually above 30°C while nights are warm with temperatures hovering around 25°C. The hottest month in the year is July, with an average high of 32°C and occasional very hot afternoons. The hottest temperature ever recorded was 39.6°C on July 17. Summer sees generous amounts of sunshine, with around 10 to 11 hours of bright sunshine per day on average.

In the second half of August, the monsoon starts, lasting until mid October and peaking in September. Rainfall increases dramatically and thunderstorms become a frequent occurrence. Due to the extreme humidity and warm ocean temperatures, this period features the warmest nights of the year with an average low of 27°C in September. Daytime temperatures are however slightly cooler than in summer, while the sky is noticeably cloudier. Fully overcast days are rare, most days being partly cloudy with intermittent rainfall. September is the wettest month of the year with an average rainfall of 255mm. Predictably, it is also the cloudiest month with an average of 212 hours of bright sunshine.

In late October, the sky clears up, rainfall decreases abruptly and temperatures get cooler. This is the start of the sunny, dry and warm winter season. From November to March, almost no rain falls aside from a few isolated thunderstorms. In particular, December is completely dry. It is also the sunniest month of the year in relative terms, with 310 hours of bright sunshine despite having the least amount of daylight of any month. December is also the month with the coolest afternoons of the year on average, though not the coolest nights, which happen in January. The average December high is 24.6°C, yet daily maximums have never fallen below 20°C. Indeed, the coldest maximum ever recorded was 20.8°C on Christmas day. December temperatures above 30°C do happen but are uncommon. In January, afternoons get slightly warmer while nights become cooler, though still very mild, with an average low of 19.2°C. Cold fronts are unheard of in West Luxania; the coolest nights of the year are caused by very clear nighttime conditions usually followed by warm, dry days. The lowest temperature ever recorded was 15.7°C on January 12 followed by a warm maximum of 28°C on the same day. From February onwards, temperature and rainfall both increase until summer.

South Luxania enjoys a distinctly tropical climate, yet has four distinct seasons that are influenced by the sun's angle, sea surface temperatures and two yearly monsoons.

Winter (Nov-Fev.) is dominated by the dry, cool northern monsoon. Along with a relatively low sun, this results in the days with the coolest minimum and maximum temperatures, and the driest, sunniest conditions in the year. The sky is virtually cloudless and nights are cool, though rarely below 12°C. Days are however still warm, with maxima hovering between 20°C and 30°C.

In Spring (Mar-May.) winds are light and variable, while the sun is at its highest, resulting in the warmest afternoons of the year as well as the wettest conditions, caused by frequent convective thunderstorms due to rapid land heating.

Summer (Jun-Aug.) is dominated by the lukewarm and moderately humid southern monsoon. Stronger, relatively humid winds, as well as a decreasing sun angle, both moderate afternoon temperatures, which are cooler than in spring. This paradoxically reduces rainfall by bringing stabler conditions and reducing the occurrence of convective thunderstorms, though brief showers are common. Sunshine is however abundant. Higher humidity and the warmest sea temperatures of the year also lead to the warmest nights in the year.

In Fall (Sep-Oct.) winds get lighter and the sun angle higher, which, once again, cause warmer afternoons and more frequent thunderstorms. This season is however of shorter duration compared to spring as the cool, dry northeast monsoon starts arriving by November and the sun rapidly decreases.

The coolest days happen in December; the coolest nights in February, while January is the coolest month overall. The warmest days happen in April; the warmest nights in July, while the warmest month overall is September.

The lowest temperature ever recorded was 10.0°C in February while the highest was 40.6°C in April.

Meridionapolis' climate is an extremely atypical version of the Mediterranean climate. Summers are extremely dry and sunny with hot days and cool nights, while winters are cold, cloudy and extraordinarily rainy. Shoulder seasons are somewhat in between.

Luxania has a tropical savannah climate.

Winter is very dry and calm, with cloudless skies, warm days and fresh nights.

In Spring (Mar-May.) winds are light and variable, while the sun is at its highest, resulting in the warmest afternoons of the year as well as the wettest conditions, caused by frequent convective thunderstorms due to rapid land heating.

Summer (Jun-Aug.) is dominated by the lukewarm and moderately humid southern monsoon. Stronger, relatively humid winds, as well as a decreasing sun angle, both moderate afternoon temperatures, which are cooler than in spring, though they start rising again in August which has the second warmest afternoons of the year. This paradoxically reduces rainfall by bringing stabler conditions and reducing the occurrence of convective thunderstorms, though brief showers are common. Sunshine is however abundant. Higher humidity and the warmest sea temperatures of the year also lead to the warmest nights in the year.

In Fall (Sep-Oct.) winds get lighter and the sun angle higher, which, once again, cause warmer afternoons and more frequent thunderstorms. This season is however of shorter duration compared to spring as the cool, dry northeast monsoon starts arriving by November and the sun rapidly decreases.
