Thorsby has a [[Humid subtropical climate]], characterized by hot [[summer]]s, cold [[winter]]s, and abundant [[rain]]fall, as most Alabama receives over {{convert|50|in}} of rain annually. The [[spring (season)|spring]] and summer are moderately rainy, with frequent strong to severe [[thunderstorm]]s. The fall and winter months are cold and cloudy. The town is almost always under [[cloud cover]] from November to March. January sees average daily high temperatures of {{convert|53.0|F}} and lows of {{convert|31.8|F}}. In July the average daily high is {{convert|90.6|F}} and the low is {{convert|69.7|F}}. The average annual temperature in Thorsby is {{convert|62|F}}. In late winter, normally from January through February, Thorsby normally acquires small amounts of [[snow]] accumulation. Annual snowfall averages only {{convert|1.9|in}}, but during the [[Great Blizzard of 1993]], the town received over {{convert|1|ft}} of snow, with drifts almost {{convert|3|ft}}, and on February 28 - March 1, 2009, the town accumulated almost {{convert|6|in}} of snow. The average yearly rainfall in Thorsby is about {{convert|59|in}}, with March being the wettest month and October the driest.

The spring and fall months are pleasant but variable as [[cold front]]s frequently bring strong to severe thunderstorms and occasional [[tornado]]es to the region. The fall season features more rainfall and fewer storms, as well as lower [[humidity]] than the spring, but it is also a secondary [[severe weather]] season. Thorsby is located on the heart of a [[tornado alley]] known as the [[Dixie Alley]] due to the frequency of tornadoes in [[Central Alabama]]. In late summer and fall months, Thorsby experiences occasional [[tropical storm]]s and [[hurricane]]s due to its proximity to the [[Central Gulf Coast]].
