Milan has a {{wp|tropical savanna climate}} ({{wp|Köppen climate classification}}: Aw) according to Köppen climate classification; it is hot all-year-round, with high levels of relative humidity. The average temperature is 28.4 °C (85 °F) and daytime temperature usually remains around this point. Nevertheless, from late November to early April, trade winds more or less cool it to a more comfortable temperature during daylight. During the evening and through the night, temperature can change due to the winds it receives. Rainy seasons are from April to June and from August to November. This has been known to cause flooding in the state, especially areas of the very large Aurillac and Millau drainage basins in the ''Est'' region. The states Burgoignac heritage, peninsular geography, and somewhat marshy terrain has made many Milanese people accustomed to maritime travel. | Milan has a {{wp|tropical savanna climate}} ({{wp|Köppen climate classification}}: Aw) according to Köppen climate classification; it is hot all-year-round, with high levels of relative humidity.

The '''''Faible''''' region is south of the ''Est'' and is the where the state's only mountains are located, including the highest point in Milan–Mont Pierre, in Trinitè Parish. It is referred to by many from the other regions as the forgotten region and many Milanese from other parts of the state, especially those from Auvergne and Aumiers, will comically feign being oblivious to what the ''Faible'' is. It's name, which means ''"low"'' in English, although incorrectly contextualized, has a few meanings. Primarily, those are that the region is in the state's lower portion. It also refers to the region being more on the rural side, respective to the rest of Milan. Nonetheless, because of it's more laid back attitude and low density, many of Milan's large scale manufacturers are located here (e.g., Hèrmes Automobili, [[Bellegarde]]'s dry goods annex, and Nexus). This is further supported by the [[South Milan Terminals]], which allow these companies to distribute their goods by means other than air, rail, or truck. | The '''''Faible''''' region is south of the ''Est'' and is the where the state's only mountains are located, including the highest point in Milan–Mont Pierre, in Trinitè Parish.

The state is characterized by low swamplands, bayous, creeks, woodlands, and coastal marshlands and beaches. The tropical climate has made Milan a very comfortable home for many species of plants and animals. In fact, Milan is the third-most megadiverse state in the country (following Verona and Viterna thanks to their large rainforests) with 150 amphibian species, 120 reptile species, 631 bird species, and 161 mammal species, as well as nearly 750 species of tree and other vegetation. | |||
