The county is located on the [[East Coast of the United States|U.S. East Coast]], approximately halfway between the Equator and the North Pole, which results in climate that is influenced by wet, dry, hot, and cold airstreams, and highly variable daily weather. Of New Jersey's five distinct climate regions, Hudson County is located in the Central region, which runs from [[New York Harbor]] and the Lower Hudson River to the great bend of the [[Delaware River]] near the state capital of [[Trenton, New Jersey|Trenton]]. The high number of urban areas in this region are characterized by a high volume of industry and vehicular traffic that produce large amounts of pollutants. These substances, along with the large amounts of asphalt, brick, and concrete that compose buildings in the area, retain more atmospheric heat, which make it a regularly warmer "[[heat island]]" than surrounding suburban and rural areas. The northern border of the Central Zone is often the boundary between freezing and non-freezing precipitation in the winter, and between comfortable and comfortable sleeping conditions in the summer.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://climate.rutgers.edu/stateclim_v1/njclimoverview.html|title=The Climate of New Jersey|publisher=[[Rutgers University]]|language=en-US|url-status=live|access-date=January 4, 2023|archive-date=July 2, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220702184703/http://climate.rutgers.edu/stateclim_v1/njclimoverview.html}}</ref>
