Climate

See also: Climate of Heiheguo

Xincheng, the climate is classified as a hot desert climate (BWh according to the Köppen climate classification system). From March to May, the air often becomes uncomfortably dry due to Alharun desert winds. This dust brings daytime temperatures over 38°C (100°F) and sometimes over 48°C (119°F), while the relative humidity can drop to 5% or even less. During the summer-time, the highs rarely surpass 40°C (104°F), and lows usually drop to about 21°C (69°F). Meanwhile, in the winter, high temperatures in the city range from 14 to 22°C (57 to 72°F), while night-time lows drop to below 11°C (52°F), often to 5°C (41°F). Rainfall is sparse and only happens in the colder months, but sudden showers can cause severe flooding.
