Gaborone's weather is affected by its high altitude, with air pressure about 920 millibars, which is lower than at sea level. This means the air is thinner and lighter.

The city's location in a valley makes the air pressure even lower, as cold air sinks and gets trapped, making it harder for warm air to rise.

In summer, from October to April, the air pressure is lower due to hot temperatures, making it feel more humid. It's the rainy season, with most of the year's rainfall.

In winter, from May to September, the air pressure is slightly higher due to cooler temperatures, making it feel drier. It's the dry season, with very little rainfall.

Gaborone has a subtropical climate, characterized by high temperatures and low air pressure. This climate type makes the weather unstable, leading to sudden changes in weather patterns.
