The barometric pressure in Fresno is affected by its inland location. It tends to be higher than in coastal cities. This is because air pressure systems move from west to east. As a result, Fresno experiences a more continental climate.
Fresno is situated in the San Joaquin Valley. The valley is surrounded by mountains to the east and west. These mountains block moisture from the Pacific Ocean. They also trap hot air in the valley. This unique geography contributes to the city's weather patterns.
The atmospheric pressure in Fresno is also influenced by its proximity to the Sierra Nevada mountain range. The range creates a rain shadow effect. As a result, Fresno receives very little rainfall. The dry air from the mountains contributes to the city's dry climate.
During the summer, the atmospheric pressure is often high. This leads to clear skies and hot temperatures. In the winter, the pressure is lower. This brings fog and cooler temperatures to the area.
