Colton's weather patterns bring frequent changes in barometric pressure, which can rise and fall quickly due to storm systems and cold fronts moving in from the north. Pressure drops before storms and rises after they pass.

Colton's elevation, at 1,900 feet above sea level, and surrounding hills influence atmospheric pressure, making it more variable than in lower-lying areas. This varied landscape disrupts airflow, causing pressure changes.

In winter, pressure is usually low, with frequent storms bringing snow and cold air. In summer, pressure is high, with warm, dry air and occasional thunderstorms. Spring and fall pressure is moderate, with gentle temperature changes.

Colton has a humid continental climate, which means big temperature and pressure swings between seasons. This leads to noticeable changes in weather and pressure over the course of a year, affecting daily life and outdoor activities.
