The barometric pressure in Canberra fluctuates throughout the year. It can rise and fall rapidly due to the city's location. Weather systems from the surrounding mountains and coastal areas influence the pressure.

Canberra is situated in the Australian Alps. The city is surrounded by hills and mountains. This landscape affects the atmospheric pressure. The nearby Great Dividing Range blocks or redirects air masses. This alters the pressure patterns in the region.

The surrounding mountains also contribute to Canberra's unique weather patterns. They force winds to rise and cool, resulting in precipitation. The rain shadow effect also occurs, leading to dry air on the leeward side.
