The climate of Zhengzhou (formerly Zhengxian) is continental, with cold, dry winters and hot, muggy and rainy summers.
The city is the capital of the Henan province and is located in the east of China, at 34 degrees north latitude, on the south bank of the Yellow River (or Huang He). To the southwest is Mount Song, 1,512 meters (4,961 feet) high, one of the five sacred mountains of China, while to the east is the North China Plain (or Yellow Plain), considered as the cradle of Chinese civilization.
Winter is dry and quite sunny. Sometimes fog can form. Given the low temperatures, precipitation, even though it is not abundant, can occur in the form of snow.

Summer is the only season when the rains are quite abundant. Sometimes there can be particularly heavy rains, which can cause flooding, as happened in July 2021.
