Forecast

The barometric pressure in Christchurch varies regularly. It can be high, resulting in clear skies and calm conditions. At other times, it can drop significantly, leading to unsettled weather.

Christchurch is situated on the Canterbury Plains, a flat and narrow region. The city is bordered by the Pacific Ocean to the east. To the north and west, there are mountains that meet the Southern Alps. These geographical features influence the atmospheric pressure. The clash of cold air from the south and warm air from the north creates pressure changes.

The surrounding mountains can block or redirect air flows. This leads to varying pressure patterns. As a result, Christchurch experiences a range of weather conditions. Weather systems from the Tasman Sea can bring rain and wind. Clear skies and sunshine can occur when high-pressure systems dominate.
