Umbar, suprisingly, has a much different climate then that of Near Harad. It is cooled by the cold waters of the North Belagaeric Chrrent, and is much colder then the rest of Harad. The temperature varies throughout the peninsula, with the north being much colder then the warm bay.

Flora:

Umbar is home to a variety of plant life, many native and many imported. On the north cost, olive trees and fields of long grass dotted by boulders is common, while in the south grow many warmer varies of plants. The Mallorn tree grows in the Northern forest, though they do not achieve even near the height of the ones of Lothlorien, growing only around 20 feet high. The Sereborn Tree is also very common to find there. The tree has silvery bark, and blood red leaves. The leaves never fall until new leaves are ready to shoot out, so the tree is never without leaves. The leaves are a dark green, though the rarer red variety is found also. The Flame of Harad and Haradic flowers are found, along with some native to Umbar only. In the Gardens of the King in Umbar grow some of the oldest tree species known to man, some of them being the only alive specimens. The White tree of Gondor is known by many, but it is a lesser known fact that Umbar holds a scion of Nimloth also. It blooms in the autumn. The most beautiful season in Umbar is held to be the Autumn, as all the trees turn golden red.
