The territory of Kota Hilir has a subarctic climate (Köppen climate classification: Dsd) with long and cold winters, and short and mild summers, despite being in the tropics. The lowest temperatures are rare, but the highest temperatures have never occurred in this territory. Summer is usually expected to occur in late June to early September with high temperatures ranging from 26°C to 32°C, usually in mid-May to early July is cooler due to sea effects and southwest Cyberian monsoon winds, however but in mid-July until early September it is generally hot and humid but receives low rainfall.
The winter usually occurs in mid-November to early March with the highest temperature in the morning ranging from -2°C to 8°C and the lowest temperature in the evening ranging from -20°C to -10°C.

Language
The Territory of Kota Hilir is a multi-linguistic territory, however Phineaner is the official language of this territory as well as in this country and in the Phineonesian Confederation, with Phinbellan as the standard form. Road signs and official documents issued by the government are written in the Phineaner language, either using Latin or Jawi script. Other national languages in Phinbella such as the Taesongean are widely used as the medium of communication for the tourism and business sectors, the same sector also uses Sangunese and sometimes uses the Common Tongue. Hiliorian Phineaner is a unique variety of Phineaner dialect spoken within this territory and also spoken in the Tri-State Area, also known as Tri-State Phineaner. It has its own pronunciation and vocabulary compared to other territories and entities in Phinbella. There is also an Eldian dialect spoken in the Eldian Nannim precinct and a small part of the Matunggoi precinct, and also an Oranje dialect around the northern border.
There are three creoles in this territory where two of them are Phineaner-based creoles namely Baba Phineaner which is spoken by the Baba and Nyonya community and Chetty Phineaner which is spoken by the Chetty community. Another creole is a Portuguese-based creole where it is spoken by the Kristangs community known as Papia Kristang.
Another minority language found in this territory is the Sam-Sam Laut language, which is the language spoken by the people who live on the coast and nearby islands, it is different from the language spoken by the Orang Darat who are more influenced by Phineanic languages (probably Forajasakian accent) and Adarani, and in fact the Sam-Sam Laut language is influenced by the languages once spoken in this territory such as Hiliorian Phineaner or other dialects, Portuguese and Hulonthaloan, and has vocabulary that comes from the Common Tongue and Arboric. The Hulonthaloan language is widely spoken in several settlements of the Hulonthaloan community, all the Hulonthaloan dialects are spoken by the community so there is no appropriate standard in this territory. However, the Hulonthaloan language itself has gone through assimilation with other languages in this territory and the use of the language in this territory is limited to daily life, as well as in other territories. Sino-Keltian languages including Hokkien, Cantonese and Hakka as well as Indian languages such as Eeshan, Malayalam, Kantic, Togu and Punjabi are also spoken by the people in this territory. The Toromuan language is usually spoken by aborigines in Kota Hilir.
