Forecast

Kota Kinabalu's barometric pressure is affected by its tropical rainforest climate. It varies throughout the year due to changes in temperature and humidity. The pressure is influenced by the movement of air masses from the South China Sea.

The city is surrounded by mountains and hills. These natural barriers block and redirect air masses, causing fluctuations in atmospheric pressure. The Crocker Range to the east and the South China Sea to the west have a significant impact on the city's weather patterns.

The landscape around Kota Kinabalu creates a unique microclimate. The surrounding mountains force warm, moist air to rise, cool, and condense, resulting in frequent rainfall. This process affects the atmospheric pressure, leading to changes in the weather.
