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 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. | |||
