Caloundra is situated near the Coral Sea, with the Glass House Mountains to the west. These mountains create a rain shadow effect, blocking moisture from the sea. The surrounding landscape consists of coastal plains, beaches, and estuaries.
The combination of the coastal location and the mountain range affects the atmospheric pressure. The mountains force the winds to rise, cool, and condense, resulting in precipitation. This leads to a variation in pressure systems throughout the year. As a result, Caloundra experiences a subtropical climate with mild winters and warm summers.
