Chaukhira has a {{wpl|Tropical rainforest climate}} climate zone with significant rainfall even in its driest months. The climate is hot and humid with a lot of rainfall throughout the year. The annual average temperature is around 27.3 °C (81.1 °F). Except for precipitation and monsoonal wind direction, Chaukhira experiences no other seasonal change throughout the year. The average rainfall annually is 2,623 millimeters or 103 inches. During its wettest months, the provinces lowlands are frequently inundated by torrential rains. However, in its driest months, many regional peatlands dry out, making them more vulnerable to wildfires, and causing prolonged haze in the direr months. | Chaukhira has a {{wpl|Tropical rainforest climate}} climate zone with significant rainfall even in its driest months.

Many of the characteristic [[Audonia]]n species—large mammals such as the {{wp|elephant}}, {{wp|rhinoceros}}, {{wp|giraffe}}, {{wp|zebra}}, and {{wp|antelope}} and predators such as {{wp|lions}} and {{wp|leopards}}—do not exist on Chaukhira. In addition, the island has been spared the great variety of venomous snakes indigenous to the [[Audonia]]n continent. Although it is assumed that most life forms on the island had an [[Audonia]]n origin, isolation has allowed old species—elsewhere extinct—to survive and new species unique to the island to evolve. Thus, a great number of plant, insect, reptile, and fish species are endemic to Chaukhira, and all indigenous land mammal species—66 in all—are unique to the island. | |||
Chaukhira was once covered almost completely by forests, but slash and burn practices for dry rice and rubber cultivation, Secondary growth, which has replaced the original forest and consists to a large extent of {{wp|traveller's trees}}, {{wp|raffia palm}}, and {{wp|baobabs}}, is found in many places. The country has some 900 species of {{wp|orchid}}. {{wp|Bananas}}, {{wp|mangoes}}, {{wp|coconut}}, {{wp|vanilla}}, and other tropical plants grow throughout. | |||
