The weather in Independence causes barometric pressure to rise and fall as high and low-pressure systems move into the area. These pressure changes bring different types of weather. Pressure drops before a storm and rises after it passes.

Independence's elevation of about 900 feet above sea level affects atmospheric pressure. The city's location in a valley surrounded by hills also influences pressure. This landscape traps and redirects air masses, making pressure change.

In winter, pressure is usually lower due to cold Arctic air. In summer, pressure is higher due to warm air from the Gulf of Mexico. Spring and fall have more variable pressure as different air masses meet.

Independence has a humid continental climate, which means it experiences big temperature and pressure changes. This leads to varying weather conditions and pressure fluctuations that affect how residents and visitors feel.
