The barometric pressure in Anchorage is affected by the city's proximity to the ocean and surrounding mountains. Pressures can fluctuate rapidly due to changing weather patterns.

Anchorage is situated in a unique landscape. The city is nestled in a valley surrounded by the Chugach Mountains to the east and Cook Inlet to the west. The surrounding mountains create an orographic effect, forcing air to rise and cool, resulting in precipitation. This terrain influences the atmospheric pressure, causing it to drop or rise as air masses move through the area. The nearby ocean also plays a role, as moist air from the Gulf of Alaska clashes with the drier air from the interior.
