Torlen has a {{wpl|humid subtropical climate}}, with hot humid summers, and warm to mild and drier winters. Seasonal rainfall is concentrated in the warmest months from May through September, when brief but intense downpours with thunder and lightning are common, while the driest months are from November through April. Rainfall averages around {{convert|52|in|m}} a year.
The climate of Torlen is mostly tropical savanna, with two seasons, a hot and wet summer (wet season) and dry winter (dry season).


Normal monthly mean temperatures range from {{convert|54.2|°F|1}} in January to {{convert|82.5|°F|1}} in July; high temperatures average {{convert|65.5|to|91.9|°F|°C}} throughout the year. Torlen usually averages only about 10 to 15 nights at or below freezing. Such cold weather is usually short-lived.  
During the wet season, which extends from May through October, the climate is dominated by warm, moist tropical air masses as the Torlen High brings a southeasterly flow from the deep tropics. Daily high temperatures are in the 31 °C (87.8 °F) range, with a dew point temperatures in the 75–77 °F (23.9–25.0 °C) range, creating the typical hot and sultry island weather. Brief but intense thundershowers are common with thunder and lightning. In the wet season, tropical storms and weak tropical lows may also contribute to the seasonal rainfall.


Torlen is impacted by tropical cyclones on average once a year, but major damage hasn't occurred since [[1994]]. Most common impacts are storm surge and rain-related flodding related to passing storms in low lying coastal areas.
In the dry season, extending from November through April, the subtropical high retreats, and a mix of drier northeast trade winds and occasional westerlies coming down from the [[Levantia|Levantine]] mainland impact Torlen. Sunny, arid conditions prevail in Torlen in the dry season, and at times drought conditions can impact farming and agriculture. High temperatures during the dry season are in the 25 °C (77.0 °F) range.

Annual rainfall averages 132 centimetres (52 in) and is usually concentrated in the May–June and September–October periods. Rainfall often occurs in short-lived, fairly intense, but brief thundershowers accompanied by strong gusty winds, followed by a return to clear skies.

Winds are predominantly easterly throughout the year but tend to become northeasterly from October to April and southeasterly from May to September.[1] These winds seldom exceed twenty-four kilometres per hour except during hurricane season. Although the hurricane season officially lasts from June to November, most hurricanes in the Bahamas occur between July and October.
