Barometric pressure in Erbil varies throughout the day. It changes according to weather conditions and time of year. Pressure is higher when skies are clear and lower when rainy or cloudy.
Erbil is located in a valley surrounded by mountains. The city's landscape affects atmospheric pressure. Mountains block winds coming from the north and west. This causes pressure to build up before reaching the city.
Mountains also create a rain shadow effect. Moist air from the Mediterranean can't reach Erbil easily. As a result, the city receives very little rainfall. This dry air contributes to pressure changes.
Weather patterns in Erbil are influenced by its proximity to the Zagros Mountains. The mountains create a channeling effect, guiding winds and weather systems towards the city.
