To explore the spatiotemporal variation characteristics of drought in Henan Province, this article uses GRACE satellite data from 2004 to 2015 and constructs a water storage drought index (GRACE-DSI) based on GRACE time-varying gravity field data to monitor drought events in Henan Province during the research period and explore the spatiotemporal evolution characteristics of drought. The results indicate that there were 4 drought events in Henan Province during the research period, with the most severe occurring from August 2012 to January 2015; The severe drought areas in Henan Province are mainly distributed in the central and western regions and some parts of the northern region, with the worsening of drought in the northern region being the most severe; The changes in groundwater reserves have a significant impact on the GRACE-DSI changes in Henan Province, followed by precipitation factors. GRACE-DSI has a good correlation with SCPDSI, which can better reflect the drought situation in Henan Province.
