The barometric pressure in Huddersfield varies throughout the year. It can rise when a high-pressure system dominates the region. At these times, the air is sinking, causing compression. This leads to clear skies and fair weather. However, when a low-pressure system moves in, the air rises, expanding and cooling, resulting in cloudiness and precipitation.
Huddersfield is situated in a valley in West Yorkshire. The surrounding hills and mountains influence the atmospheric pressure. The Pennines to the west and the Peaks to the southeast funnel air masses into the valley. This channeling effect can amplify pressure changes, making the weather more volatile. As a result, Huddersfield's weather can be unpredictable, even within a short period.
The town's proximity to the Atlantic Ocean also plays a role. Moist air from the ocean moves eastward, colliding with the hills, causing precipitation. The resulting weather patterns can be quite different from those in other parts of the UK.
