When low-pressure systems move into Boston, they bring rain or storms and lower the air pressure. As they leave, high-pressure systems bring clear skies and higher air pressure.
Boston's coastal location and nearby mountains affect air pressure. Mountains block or redirect air masses, causing pressure changes. The city's elevation also helps shape local pressure patterns.
In winter, Boston's air pressure is often lower due to frequent low-pressure storms. In summer, high-pressure systems dominate, bringing fair weather. Spring and fall see more pressure fluctuations.
Boston has a humid continental climate, meaning big temperature and pressure swings between seasons. This leads to unpredictable weather and frequent pressure changes, making it important to check forecasts.
