Forecast

The barometric pressure in Carlsbad, New Mexico, fluctuates throughout the day. It changes with the weather patterns that bring different air masses to the region.

The city is situated in the Chihuahuan Desert. This desert landscape is surrounded by mountains to the west and east. To the north lies the Pecos River Valley. The unique combination of the desert and mountainous terrain affects the atmospheric pressure. During the day, the desert heats up quickly, causing air to rise. As air rises, pressure decreases. At night, the desert cools rapidly, causing air to sink. As air sinks, pressure increases. The mountains surrounding the city also influence the pressure patterns. They force air to rise, cool, and condense, resulting in precipitation and changes in pressure.
