Due to the Ogo Mountains' elevated highland location, the range has an unexpectedly temperate climate.
The average annual temperature in the Gudaado is 20 to 26 °C (68 to 79 °F). Precipitation reaches a maximum in March, with a minimum of rainfall in August. The average annual precipitation around 500–700 mm (20–28 in).
