The name Circumvent is derived from the monsoonal winds which gradually shifts each month. The prevailing winds on the Winter Solstice is directly north, then it shifts clockwise, shifting to directly south by the Summer Solstice. It continues to shift clockwise until arriving north again at the Winter Solstice. Circumvent is geographically located on an island on the 42nd parallel, with tall mountains to the west and northwest, and the Pacific Ocean the other directions. This, combined with the shifting winds, results in the experience of four very distinct seasons.

Circumvent has a subtropical "highland" (Koppen classification: Cwb) climate, bordering on humid subtropical (Cwa) and oceanic (Cfb). Circumvent lies in the USDA Plant Hardiness zone 8b.

Winters are often gloomy due to the northeast wind bringing sea-effect clouds and fog. The majority of snow comes from sea-effect snowsqualls on the coldest days of the year. Flurries are also quite frequent but usually don't accumulate. About once a month, a nagging low pressure comes from the south and sticks around for several days, bringing above seasonal temperatures and constant drizzle.

Springs are very wet with due to a warm humid southeast wind bringing frequent low-pressure systems. Later in the spring, orographic lifting from daytime heating produces frequent afternoon thunderstorms which contribute further to the high rainfall total.

The summers are warm to hot, but drier than the spring. The southwest winds need to partially go through mountains, providing much more stable weather, though stretches of daily thunderstorms can occur from orographic lifting when the winds shift southeast due to an offshore low pressure. Late summer is the warmest time of the year due to warm westerly winds descending down the mountains, creating a Chinook-like effect.

The Chinook effect continues well into the fall, creating a strong seasonal lag. Fall is the driest time of the year due to the rain shadow effect from the mountains, though Circumvent is either partially or directly impacted by remnants of at least 3 tropical storms per year, causing winds to shift to the opposite direction, bringing heavy rain and skewing the rainfall totals to make it seem wetter than it actually is.
