Because of its size, there is significant variation in climate across the state. Low rainfall and hot summers are typical for the inland west, a monsoonal 'wet' season in the far north, and warm subtropical conditions along the coastal strip. Inland and in southern ranges cooler temperatures are experienced, especially at nights. The climate of the coastal strip is influenced by warm ocean waters, keeping the region free from extremes of temperature and providing moisture for rainfall.
Because it is a coastal state that is on the edge of the Al S'hra desert Bulkh has three primary climate zones. Arid in the interior and tropical on the coast with a semi-arid interface zone between them.
 
There are five predominant climatic zones in Bulkh, based on temperature and humidity:
 
* hot humid summer (coastal)

However, most of the Queensland populace experience two weather seasons: a winter period of rather warm temperatures with minimal rainfall, and a sultry summer period of hot, sticky temperatures and more rain.
