Hourly Pressure Trends
Track the barometric pressure in Hammerfest hour by hour across the next 6 hourly readings.
Hammerfest's weather is affected by its location near the Arctic Circle, which means it experiences big changes in air pressure throughout the year. The town is surrounded by mountains and sea, which traps and directs air masses, making air pressure rise and fall. In winter, cold air from the Arctic presses down, making air pressure high, and weather is calm and cold. In summer, warm air from the Gulf Stream lifts, making air pressure low, and weather is windy and mild. Hammerfest has a subarctic climate, which means it's cold and dark in winter, and mild and bright in summer, with big air pressure changes in between.
