Forecast

Kelowna's barometric pressure is influenced by its inland location. The city's pressure is often higher than coastal cities due to its distance from the moderating oceanic influence. This leads to more extreme pressure fluctuations.

Kelowna is situated in the Okanagan Valley, surrounded by mountains and lakes. The valley's shape and elevation create a rain shadow effect, resulting in a dryer climate. The nearby mountains can disrupt air flows, causing pressure changes. The lake's thermal properties also influence local temperatures and pressure.
