Forecast

Glastonbury's barometric pressure is influenced by its proximity to the Atlantic Ocean. The pressure can drop quickly, bringing in rain and wind. It can also rise rapidly, leading to clear skies and fair weather.

The city is situated in a valley surrounded by hills. To the north lie the Mendip Hills, while the Somerset Levels stretch out to the south. This landscape creates a microclimate, where air is funneled into the valley. As a result, Glastonbury's pressure is affected by the hills and the Levels.

The hills block westerly winds, forcing them to rise and cool, resulting in precipitation. The Somerset Levels, being a low-lying area, allow cold air to settle, leading to frost and fog.
