The climate of the district is extremely hot with long summers, and pleasant to cold winters. Humidity increases in the summer, particularly in the area adjacent to the Pat Feeder Canal. Dust storms are common in the summer season and they blow from the north and west; however, they have lost their intensity due to an increase in vegetation frequency. A dust storm in Nasirabad can sometimes be followed by rain. Rainy season occurs mostly during the monsoon, in the months of July and August.
