Bulkh forms the eastern most expanse of the Great Kavir desert and the northwestern [[Puhktun Sea]] coast of [[Audonia#Daria|Daria]], the south eastern island of [[Audonia]]. It is bound in interior in the northwest by the foothills of the Mahagheh Mountains in the west by the Great Kavir desert, and the Baqunah Mountain Range in the southwest.

Because it is a coastal state that is on the edge of the The Great Kavir desert Bulkh has three primary climate zones. Arid in the interior and tropical on the coast with a semi-arid interface zone between them. The Baqunah Mountain Range forms a small, high-elevation humid continental zone.
Climate varies greatly within Bulkh. In the highlands, temperatures range between 10 and 20 °C (50 and 68 °F) during cold and hot seasons respectively. The rest of the country has temperatures rarely falling lower than 20 °C (68 °F). The hottest period extends between November and February (25–31 °C or 77.0–87.8 °F) while the coldest period occurs between May and August (15–20 °C or 59–68 °F). Annual temperature is 20 °C (68.0 °F). The climate is cool in high mountainous regions.
Coastal Bulkh has two major rainfall periods: one is uni-modal (October–April) and the other is bi-modal (October–December and March–May). The former is experienced in southern and central parts of the country, and the latter is found along the northern coast. The bi-modal rainfall is caused by the seasonal migration of the {{wpl|Intertropical Convergence Zone}}.
