Kathmandu, Nepal experiences varying barometric pressure throughout the year due to its distinct seasons. During the summer monsoon season from June to September, the barometric pressure is generally low, with frequent rain showers and high humidity. In contrast, in the winter season from November to February, the barometric pressure tends to be higher, bringing drier and colder conditions.
The landscape surrounding Kathmandu plays a crucial role in influencing the atmospheric pressure. Enclosed by hills and mountains, the Kathmandu Valley acts as a basin, trapping air and creating a microclimate. This geographic setup can contribute to fluctuations in barometric pressure, especially during winter when colder air gets trapped, leading to higher pressure. Additionally, the elevation of Kathmandu at around 1,400 meters (4,600 feet) above sea level also impacts the atmospheric pressure in the region.
