The barometric pressure in Atherton is influenced by its tropical location. It fluctuates with the season, with changes in temperature and humidity. These changes can be significant, leading to varying weather conditions.
Atherton is situated in a valley surrounded by hills. This landscape affects the airflow, causing air to rise and cool. As a result, the air expands and pressure decreases. The surrounding hills also block or redirect winds, further influencing the local pressure.
The city's proximity to the coast also plays a role. Moist air from the ocean moves into the valley, bringing warm and humid conditions. This can lead to a decrease in pressure as the air rises and cools. The combination of the valley and coastal influences creates a unique pressure pattern in Atherton.
