Forecast

The barometric pressure in Cork varies throughout the year. It can rise and fall rapidly due to the city's proximity to the Atlantic Ocean. This leads to unpredictable weather patterns. Low-pressure systems from the ocean often bring rain and wind to the area.

Cork is situated near the mouth of the River Lee, which flows into the Atlantic Ocean. The surrounding landscape is mostly flat, with some low-lying hills. To the west, the terrain rises gradually to form the mountains of County Kerry. This mixture of coastal and inland features affects the atmospheric pressure. The mountains can block or redirect air masses, influencing the local weather.

The city's location also exposes it to the prevailing westerly winds. These winds carry warmth and moisture from the Gulf Stream, resulting in a mild oceanic climate. The winds can also bring cold air from the Arctic, leading to cooler temperatures and storms. The combination of these factors contributes to Cork's changeable weather.
