In Basel, Switzerland, the barometric pressure varies throughout the year. During the summer season, the barometric pressure tends to be higher, bringing stable and dry weather. In contrast, during the winter season, the barometric pressure decreases, leading to more unsettled conditions with a higher chance of precipitation.

The landscape around Basel, nestled between the Jura Mountains and the Black Forest, plays a role in the atmospheric pressure. The mountains surrounding the city can act as barriers, causing air masses to be compressed, which results in higher pressure. Conversely, when low-pressure systems move in from the west, the mountains can block their passage, leading to lower pressure and potentially stormier weather in the region.
