Kelar is situated in a valley. The city is surrounded by mountains to the north and east. These mountains block airflow from the north.

This blockage leads to a slight increase in atmospheric pressure. The surrounding terrain also traps warm air in the valley. This contributes to the high pressure during winter.

The proximity to the Persian Gulf also affects the pressure. Moist air from the Gulf moves into the region. This air is rich in oxygen and nitrogen. It increases the atmospheric pressure in Kelar.
