Dengsheng is foggy. Dengsheng has one of the lowest sunshine totals in China (less sunshine annually than London), and most days are cloudy even if without rain. This is especially so in the winter months, when it is typically interminably grey and dreary. Spring (Mar-Apr) tends to be sunnier, warmer and drier than autumn (Oct-Nov). The summers and winters are mild.

Dengsheng is situated at the western edge of the Sichuan Basin.
