The barometric pressure in Galveston, Texas is influenced by its coastal location. The city's proximity to the Gulf of Mexico affects the pressure. Low-pressure systems from the Gulf bring warm, humid air. This leads to unstable conditions, resulting in storms and rain.
Galveston is surrounded by water on three sides, with the Gulf of Mexico to the south and east, and West Bay to the west. The city's flat, low-lying terrain allows winds to circulate freely. This unique landscape contributes to the fluctuations in barometric pressure.
The nearby water bodies also moderate the temperature, keeping it relatively mild throughout the year. However, this also means that Galveston is prone to hurricanes and tropical storms. The city's geography makes it susceptible to storm surges and heavy rainfall.
