Forecast

In Biel/Bienne, Switzerland, the barometric pressure varies throughout the seasons. During the summer, the barometric pressure tends to be higher, which generally means stable and sunny weather. In the winter, the pressure tends to be lower, indicating colder temperatures and a higher chance of precipitation.

Biel/Bienne's location in the Jura Mountains plays a significant role in its atmospheric pressure. The surrounding mountainous landscape can create a phenomenon known as foehn winds. These winds occur when moist air from the north is forced to rise over the mountains, cooling and condensing into clouds. As this air descends on the leeward side of the mountains, it warms and dries, causing an increase in barometric pressure and often leading to dry and clear weather conditions.
